| Obverse description | Janiform (two-faced) head struck in high relief, presenting a laureate and bearded male head of Zeus facing left conjoined with a diademed female head of Hera facing right, the two deities back-to-back in the characteristic archaic style traditional to Tenedian coinage. The jugate effigies are rendered with careful detail, Zeus displaying a full beard and radiating laurel wreath, while Hera bears an elegant diadem befitting her divine status. The field is plain, focusing attention entirely on the bold janiform type. |
