| Obverse description | Facing head of Helios in three-quarter view turned slightly to the right, rendered in high relief with characteristic flowing hair radiating outward from the crown of the head. The modelling of the face is naturalistic and accomplished, with well-defined eyes, nose, and slightly parted lips, consistent with the refined Hellenistic engraving tradition of Rhodian coinage. The flan is irregular, as typical of hammered issues of this period. |
