| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, bound with a tainia, rendered in fine archaic-to-early classical style with carefully engraved wavy hair swept back from the forehead and gathered at the nape. The facial features are delicately modeled with a strong profile, prominent chin, and naturalistic eye. The bust is set within a plain field enclosed by a beaded border running along the coin's periphery. The overall workmanship reflects the accomplished die-cutting tradition of Thracian mint cities during the late fifth to early fourth century BC. |
