| Obverse description | Bare head of Apollo facing left, rendered in the archaic Greek provincial style characteristic of Massalian coinage. The portrait displays schematic hair radiating from the crown, with strands falling along the neck. The facial features are rendered with simplified but expressive die-cutting, consistent with the local workshops of the Massalian mint during the late 2nd century BC. The coin's irregular flan partially obscures the periphery of the design. |
