| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet adorned with a coiled serpent on the bowl and a crest rendered in high relief. The goddess's hair falls in long curling locks beneath the helmet, framing a finely modelled profile with a strong, idealized physiognomy characteristic of the Macedonian royal mint style. The visor of the helmet is pushed back, fully revealing the face. The field is smooth and unlettered, the portrait filling the flan with bold, confident engraving typical of the late fourth to early third century BC Macedonian tradition. |
