| Obverse description | Janiform double effigy rendered as two conjoined facing busts seen in opposite profile: to the left, a laureate and bearded head of Zeus, and to the right, a diademed head of Hera. The two heads share a common neck, a distinctive iconographic convention long associated with the coinage of Tenedos. The modeling is bold and naturalistic, characteristic of late Hellenistic die-cutting, with careful attention to the deity's attributes — the laurel wreath of Zeus and the royal diadem of Hera — clearly articulated in relief. |
