| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of Athena in right-facing profile, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet pushed back on her head, with the bowl decorated with a coiled serpent visible on the bowl's surface. The goddess's hair flows in long wavy locks beneath the helmet, rendered with fine engraved detail. The facial features are modeled with high artistic quality characteristic of the Macedonian royal die-cutting tradition, exhibiting a strong profile with an almond-shaped eye, prominent nose, and slightly parted lips. The field is plain and unadorned, with no legends, allowing the powerful portraiture to dominate the flan. |
