| Obverse description | Laureate and bearded head of a male deity — most likely Zeus-Hadad or Dushara — facing right, the hair rendered in stylized wavy locks with incised striations characteristic of Nabataean die-cutting. A dotted border encircles the field. The portrait is executed in the Hellenistic tradition adopted by Nabataean mint engravers, with bold, slightly abstracted facial features. |
