| Obverse description | Head of Athena facing left, depicted in archaic Greek style, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with a row of pellets along the brow band. The hair falls in beaded tresses behind the neck, rendered with characteristic Ionian artistry. The facial features are modeled in profile with a pronounced archaic physiognomy. The flan is slightly irregular, as typical of early hammered electrum coinage from the region. |
