| Obverse description | Prow of a warship (galley) advancing to the right, with a raised fighting platform rendered in relief and decorated with a facing gorgoneion apotropaic device. A cicada, serving as a civic badge of Phaselis, is depicted upward to the right of the prow in the open field. The design is executed in fine archaic style consistent with Lycian-region coinage of the 4th century BC. |
