| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing left, rendered in high relief with fine archaic-classical style detail. The deity is depicted with a full, flowing beard and wavy hair cascading beneath a wreath of olive leaves, sacred to Olympian Zeus. The facial features are modeled with naturalistic confidence, conveying divine authority and mature gravitas. The broad, rounded flan shows characteristic irregular edges typical of hand-struck Greek coinage of the period. |
