| Obverse description | Young male head facing right, likely Apollo, wearing a laurel wreath with curling locks of hair falling behind the neck. The portrait is rendered in fine Hellenistic style with naturalistic facial features, a straight nose, and slightly parted lips. The hair is elaborately coiffed with tight curls framing the forehead and brow. The field is plain, with no legend present on the obverse. The overall style reflects the refined engraving tradition of the Koan mint in the early 3rd century BC. |
