| Obverse description | Radiate head of Antiochos VIII facing right, the king portrayed with the distinctive spiked solar crown of radiating rays emanating from the diademed head, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition. The facial features are modelled in relatively high relief, with visible curling hair and a beard at the chin. The irregular flan edge is characteristic of the hammered bronze coinage of the late Seleucid period. No legend is present on the obverse. |
