| Obverse description | Highly abstracted and degenerate rendering of an Apollo head derived ultimately from Macedonian prototypes, oriented to the right. The design is heavily die-worn and largely obliterated, resolving into a near-plain field with only vestigial traces of the original wreath, foliage motifs, and crescent ornaments surviving. Characteristic of the South Ferriby series, the obverse retains minimal figural detail, reflecting an advanced stage of stylistic abstraction typical of late Corieltauvian coinage. |
