| Obverse description | Bare head of Apollo Karneios facing right, rendered in fine archaic-transitional style characteristic of Cyrenaican coinage. The deity's hair is depicted in wavy locks drawn back from the forehead, secured by a taenia, with a distinctive ram's horn curving over the ear — an attribute specific to the Karneian cult epithet. The portrait occupies the full flan, with no legend or border, the finely modelled facial features showing a youthful profile with a firm jawline and slightly parted lips. |
