| Obverse description | Radiate head of Helios in high relief, turned three-quarters to the right, rendered in the refined Hellenistic style characteristic of Rhodian coinage. The solar deity's youthful, idealized visage displays flowing wavy hair swept back beneath a prominent radiate crown of seven diverging rays. Fine die-cutting is evident in the delicate facial modelling, with well-articulated features including a sharp profile, almond-shaped eye, and softly parted lips. The field is smooth and unlettered, with the portrait dominating the flan. |
