| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, rendered in archaic Greek style with fine detail on the Attic helmet's crest and cheekpiece. The profile is boldly modeled in high relief against a flat field, characteristic of fifth-century Lesbian coinage. The eye is depicted in the archaic frontal convention within the left-facing profile. The flan is irregular and compact, consistent with the small module of the denomination. |
