| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, rendered in fine high relief with strong engraving characteristic of Cilician coinage of the 4th century BC. The goddess wears a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, fitted with a prominent rounded bowl and a tall, elaborately detailed crest with feathered plume falling behind. Flowing locks of hair emerge beneath the helmet nape and cascade over the neck and shoulder. The facial features are rendered with precision, including a clearly articulated eye, delicate nose, and slightly parted lips, conveying a refined Hellenistic artistic sensibility. |
