| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, the goddess wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back to reveal the face, with the helmet bowl decorated by a coiled serpent facing right. The hair is arranged with notable precision: three tight corkscrew curls descend vertically along the neckline, a fourth curl emerges above the ear, and loose flowing curls extend across the left shoulder. The rendering reflects the refined die-cutting style associated with the Abydos mint during the reign of Philip III Arrhidaeus. |
