| Obverse description | Draped bust of a female deity facing right, her hair elaborately arranged and bound with a laurel wreath, with loose curls falling to the neck. The portrait is rendered in a refined Hellenistic style, with delicate facial features and carefully articulated hair. The field is plain, and the design is contained within a beaded border encircling the entire flan. |
