| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet adorned with a prominent crested plume and serpent coil at the bowl; the goddess's facial features are rendered with fine Hellenistic artistry, displaying a strong profile with flowing locks of hair visible beneath the helmet's cheekpieces. The helmet's crest sweeps dramatically to the left, with detailed engraving capturing individual feathers. No legend appears on the obverse, the field being entirely devoted to this iconic portrait. |
