| Obverse description | Veiled and diademed head of the deified Arsinoe II facing right, adorned with a stephane and the ram's horn of Ammon curving before the ear, attributes emblematic of her divine status. A lotus-tipped scepter rises over the far shoulder, occasionally depicted with a serpent coiled around its shaft. The effigy is rendered in refined Hellenistic style with delicate facial modeling. The entire design is enclosed within a dotted border. |
