| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet adorned with a coiled serpent on the bowl and a flowing crest, rendered in high relief in the Hellenistic style. The goddess's facial features are finely modeled, with a strong profile, prominent nose, and parted lips visible beneath the helmet's visor. Curling locks of hair emerge from beneath the helmet at the neck and cheek, adding naturalistic detail to the effigy. The flan is slightly irregular, characteristic of hammered coinage of the period, with the design occupying the full field without a border or legend. |
