Obverse description	Bare head of Pan facing right, rendered with characteristic features including slightly snub nose, pointed ears, and wild flowing hair; the pedum (shepherd's crook) is visible resting over his shoulder. The bust is depicted in profile with vigorous Hellenistic engraving style, the field otherwise plain. The irregular flan edge is typical of hammered bronze coinage from the Macedonian mint of Pella.
