| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet adorned with a coiled serpent on the bowl and a crest decorated with elaborate floral and scroll motifs. The facial features are rendered with fine Hellenistic artistry, exhibiting a serene, idealized expression. The hair falls in loose locks beneath the helmet cheekpieces, framing the face. The coin surface displays a warm, lustrous gold field characteristic of high-quality Macedonian-tradition strikings. The type closely follows the Alexandrine prototype established under Alexander III. |
