| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in high relief with vigorous Hellenistic artistry. The deity is depicted bearded, with thick, flowing locks of hair falling behind the neck and a prominent laurel wreath encircling the head. The strong, mature facial features — including a broad nose, deeply set eye, and full beard with curling locks — are characteristic of the Zeus type prevalent in Cretan coinage of the early Hellenistic period. The design is contained within a dotted border, with the field otherwise plain. |
