| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with richly detailed wavy hair swept back and secured by a laurel wreath. The youthful, idealized effigy displays delicate facial features with a straight nose and slightly parted lips, characteristic of Macedonian die-cutting of the late 4th century BC. The portrait fills the flan boldly, with the neck truncation visible at the lower right. No legend appears in the field, the design relying entirely on the powerful sculptural quality of the Apollo type established under Philip II. |
