| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with carefully detailed wavy locks of hair swept back beneath a laurel wreath. The youthful, idealized effigy displays smooth facial features with a refined profile, characteristic of Aeolian civic coinage of the late second century BC. The portrait fills the field with confident die-cutting, exhibiting high relief and naturalistic modeling of the hair and laurel leaves. |
