| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in the refined Ionian style characteristic of late Classical Colophonian coinage. The deity's hair is bound with a wreath of laurel leaves, with loose wavy locks falling behind the neck. The facial features are finely modelled with a delicate profile, exhibiting the graceful naturalism typical of fourth-century Greek die-cutting. The field is smooth and unlettered. |
