| Obverse description | Youthful male head in right profile, rendered in high relief in the refined Archaic-to-Classical transitional style characteristic of Lesbian coinage. The hair is depicted in fine, closely set parallel waves drawn back from the brow and gathered behind the ear, with a small crescent or taenia visible above the forehead. The facial features are finely modeled, with a sensitively rendered eye, straight nose, and slightly parted lips. The bust is truncated at the neck and occupies the full field of the flan, with no legend or border present. |
