| Obverse description | Helmeted male head facing left in high relief, the helmet featuring a prominent crest adorned with a floral motif. Below the main device, a small seal (phoke) is depicted facing right, serving as the civic badge of Phokaia. The style is archaic, with bold, simplified facial features characteristic of early Ionian coinage. |
