| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a pendant earring and necklace, her crested Corinthian helmet adorned with a griffin leaping to the right. The goddess is depicted in the classical Macedonian style associated with the Philippic stater series, with fine engraving detail on the helmet crest and facial features. The field is plain and unlettered, consistent with the type struck in the name of Philip. |
