| Obverse description | Head of Athena facing right, wearing a Attic helmet adorned with a raised crest and a decorative cheek guard. The goddess's hair falls in short wavy locks beneath the helmet, and her facial features are rendered with archaic naturalism characteristic of Thessalian coinage of the mid-fifth century BC. The neck is visible below, with fine engraving detail along the nape. |
