Obverse description Bare male head facing right, rendered in the Ibero-Hellenistic artistic tradition, with elaborately engraved wavy hair swept back in thick strands and a prominent necklace or torque visible at the truncation. The facial features are boldly modelled with a strong jaw and large eye. A dotted border frames the design along the inner edge of the flan. The overall style reflects local Iberian workshops adapting Hellenistic portraiture conventions.
