| Obverse description | Draped bust of Artemis Britomartis facing left, her hair restrained by a band adorned with laurel leaves along the upper edge; she wears a pearl necklace, and a quiver is visible over her right shoulder. The portrait is rendered in fine Hellenistic style, conveying an elegant, idealized femininity characteristic of Cretan coinage of the early third century BC. |
