| Obverse description | Veiled and diademed head of Queen Arsinoe II facing right, wearing a stephane adorned with the horn of Ammon and a lotus scepter visible over the far shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the idealized Hellenistic style, with delicate facial features framed by the veil. A 'K' monogram appears in the left field. The overall composition reflects the posthumous deification of Arsinoe II as a divine queen. |
