Obverse description Diademed head of Demetrios Poliorketes facing right, distinguished by the distinctive ram's horn curving above his forehead — an iconographic attribute alluding to divine or heroic status. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic style, with finely engraved hair and a bold, idealized likeness. The diadem, symbol of royal authority, is tied at the back of the head with the ends falling behind the neck.
