Obverse description Facing left, the bearded head of Dionysos rendered in high relief, wearing an ivy wreath adorned with clusters of grapes and leaves. The deity's long, flowing beard and hair are rendered with finely engraved parallel strokes, conveying a sense of vitality and divine presence. The bold, three-quarter sculptural modelling of the face is characteristic of the mature Thasian coinage style, filling the flan with impressive naturalism. No legend appears on the obverse; the divine portrait serves as the sole decorative and identifying element.
