| Obverse description | Laureate and bearded head of Sarapis facing right, surmounted by the atef crown — a composite Egyptian headdress featuring a tall central element flanked by ostrich feathers and ram horns — rendered in bold, deeply cut relief characteristic of Hellenistic Karian die engraving. The deity's hair is rendered in thick, flowing locks falling behind the neck, and his beard is full and carefully articulated. The overall style reflects the Hellenistic syncretism of Greek and Egyptian religious iconography prevalent in the coinage of western Asia Minor during the second century BC. |
