| Obverse description | Head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet adorned with a coiled serpent on the bowl and a palmette at the nape; the helmet visor is raised, revealing the goddess's idealized facial features rendered in fine Hellenistic style. Locks of hair curl beneath the helmet and fall along the neck. The field is plain, and no legend is present on this side. The relief is bold and well-modelled, consistent with the high artistic standards of the Salaminian mint during the reign of Alexander III. |
