| Obverse description | Draped bust of a youthful male deity facing right, identified as a deified Alexander the Great or Dionysus, wearing a taenia or diadem bound in the hair with wavy locks falling to the neck. The effigy is rendered in fine Hellenistic style, with naturalistic facial features, a straight nose, and full lips. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend, the portrait filling the flan in the Alexandrine tradition characteristic of early Hellenistic successor coinage. |
