| Obverse description | Draped bust of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet with a plain bowl and cheek guards pushed up; locks of hair fall beneath the helmet onto the neck and shoulder. The portrait is rendered in fine Hellenistic style with naturalistic facial features, a slightly parted mouth, and a prominent eye. The surface of the field is smooth and unlettered. |
