Obverse description Radiate head of Helios facing three-quarters to the left, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with curling hair swept back from the forehead. The deity's youthful, idealized effigy is framed by prominent radiating sun rays emanating from the crown of the head, symbolizing the solar god's divine luminosity. The facial features are finely modeled with full cheeks, slightly parted lips, and a serene expression characteristic of late Rhodian coinage. No legend appears in the field; the design fills the flan to the border.
