| Reverse description | Bare male head in left-facing profile, likely depicting a local dynast or youthful deity, with finely rendered wavy hair falling in tight curls about the nape of the neck. The portrait displays accomplished classical die-cutting with naturalistic modeling of the facial features, including a well-defined jaw and slightly parted lips. The field is plain and unlettered, typical of early coinage from Issos in Cilicia. The flan exhibits a crack consistent with the irregular planchet preparation characteristic of hammered silver coinage of this era. |
