| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with richly detailed laurel wreath binding long, flowing locks that fall in loose waves behind the neck. The facial features are delicately modeled with a straight nose, slightly parted lips, and a serene expression characteristic of late Classical and early Hellenistic Apollo types from Miletos. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, with the portrait occupying most of the field. |

The magistrate name ΘEOKPINHΣ is inscribed in the exergue in Greek letters, identifying the issuing official responsible for this emission. |
