| Obverse description | Crude local imitation of the Athenian type, depicting a helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet. The style is characteristic of Samaritan provincial coinage, rendered in a schematic and somewhat archaic manner befitting a small hammered silver fractional issue. The flan is irregular and the relief is shallow, reflecting the primitive striking technique of the period. |
