| Obverse description | Radiate head of Helios facing three-quarters right, rendered in finely engraved high relief characteristic of late Rhodian plintophoric coinage. The god's youthful, idealised visage is framed by flowing curly locks, with bold radiating rays emanating from the crown of the head, symbolising the solar deity. The modelling of the facial features is assured and naturalistic, with a well-defined brow, prominent nose, and slightly parted lips. The field is otherwise plain, the design filling the flan to its irregular edges. |
