| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style. The goddess wears a Corinthian-type helmet pushed back on her head, revealing loose flowing hair cascading behind the neck. The facial features are delicately modeled with a sharp profile, characteristic of the late Metapontine coinage tradition. The field is smooth and unadorned, with no visible legend or inscription. |
