| Obverse description | Central type depicts the omphalos of Apollo — a beehive-shaped sacred stone rendered in fine relief with a reticulated net pattern and a serpent coiled about its base. The omphalos is surrounded by a dense wreath of oak leaves and acorns arranged in a circular border, framing the central device in typical Pergamene cistophoric style. The field is plain and unlettered, with the entire composition occupying the full flan in high relief characteristic of Hellenistic hammered coinage. |
