| Obverse description | Winged female figure depicted facing, rendered in the archaic style characteristic of early Karian coinage. The figure displays broad, outstretched wings spread symmetrically to either side, with finely engraved feather detail rendered in sharp relief. She wears a crested helmet and her lower body terminates in avian legs with talons, identifying her as a winged goddess or Nike-type deity. The composition is centered within the broad, irregularly shaped flan, with the figure occupying the full field. The bold, vigorous engraving reflects the archaic Greek artistic tradition of the early fifth century BC. |
