| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, rendered in fine archaic-influenced style with flowing locks of hair visible beneath the helmet. The portrait is set within a plain inner circle bordered by a beaded dotted rim. The modeling of the facial features is bold and confident, characteristic of early Hellenistic die-cutting in northwestern Greece. |
