| Obverse description | Janiform conjoined busts facing in opposite directions, depicted as a youthful male head facing right and a mature female head facing left, both rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair; the male bust wears a laurel wreath, while the female bust displays an elaborate coiffure with flowing locks. The design, a hallmark of Tenedian coinage, evokes the island's mythological identity and is executed in the Hellenistic style characteristic of the late second to early first century BC. The field is plain, with no encircling legend on this side. |
