| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in archaic Greek style with carefully delineated hair gathered beneath a laurel wreath. The facial features are finely modelled for the small module, with a pronounced profile characteristic of Lesbian coinage of the late fifth century BC. The field to the right is plain and unlettered. |
