| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, wearing a crested Attic helmet with a small spiral decorating the bowl. The goddess is further adorned with a round earring and a pearl necklace, rendered in the archaic style characteristic of late 6th-century Athenian coinage. The facial features display the stylized conventions of the period, with a pronounced almond-shaped eye and a firm profile. |
