| Obverse description | Diademed effigy of Ptolemy I Soter in right-facing profile, the hair rendered in flowing, wavy locks secured by a royal diadem. The neck is adorned with an aegis bearing fine beaded edging and a serpent at the lower terminal, rendered in the refined Hellenistic portraiture style characteristic of the Cyrene mint. The portrait is distinguished by strong, idealized facial features and an authoritative bearing befitting a divine ruler. |
