| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet adorned with a flowing horsehair crest and decorated with a coiled serpent at the bowl. The goddess's features are rendered with fine Hellenistic naturalism, her hair visible beneath the helmet's cheekpieces falling in loose locks onto the neck. The ear is partially visible below the helmet's cheekguard, and the neck is gracefully modeled. The flan fills the field with no legend, the design occupying nearly the full diameter of the coin in the tradition of Macedonian gold staters derived from the types of Alexander III. |
