| Obverse description | Radiate head of Helios facing three-quarters to the right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with flowing, deeply articulated hair spreading outward in rays around the face. The facial features are naturalistically modeled with full lips, a straight nose, and slightly downcast eyes, characteristic of Rhodian coinage of the late Republican period. The hair radiates symmetrically from the crown, filling the entire field to the coin's edge. No legend appears on the obverse. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, consistent with hand-struck production. |
