| Obverse description | Head of Athena in right profile, helmeted with a crested Corinthian helmet adorned with a coiled serpent on the bowl and a floral scroll motif at the brow. The goddess's hair flows in braided locks beneath the helmet's cheekpieces, rendered with fine engraving characteristic of the Sardis mint. The facial features are portrayed with classical idealism, exhibiting a refined, serene expression consistent with the high artistic standards of the Macedonian royal coinage. No legend appears on the obverse; the design fills the flan to the rim. |
