| Obverse description | Severely stylized and barbarized head of Athena facing right, derived from the Macedonian prototype of Alexander III staters, set within a radiate border of elongated lines imitating a helmet with crest. The facial features are rendered in a schematic, abstracted manner characteristic of Celto-Scythian die-cutting, with the helmet reduced to a rounded boss above the face. A small foliate or vegetal symbol appears in the upper right field. The monogram ΔΛ is visible in the field, serving as a die-cutter's or issuer's mark. |
