| Obverse description | Diademed head of Seleukos II Kallinikos facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with carefully articulated wavy hair secured by a royal diadem whose ties fall behind the neck. The portrait displays youthful, idealized features with a strong profile, slightly parted lips, and a hint of a beard along the jawline. The finely modeled bust is truncated at the neck and set within a beaded border encircling the field. The portraiture reflects the high artistic standards of Seleucid royal coinage, presenting the king as a Hellenistic sovereign in the tradition of his predecessors. |
