| Obverse description | Youthful laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine Hellenic style with idealized features. The hair is elaborately dressed, bound with a bay laurel wreath whose leaves and berries are rendered in high relief. Flowing locks curl naturalistically behind the neck and around the ear, displaying the accomplished die-cutting characteristic of the Macedonian royal mint at Pella. The smooth, unadorned field surrounds the effigy, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the portrait. |
