| Obverse description | Janiform head depicted in high relief, with a youthful male visage facing right and a mature female visage facing left, both rendered in the Hellenistic style characteristic of late Republican-era island coinage. The male head is laureate, adorned with a wreath of leaves over flowing hair, while the female head is diademed with similarly voluminous curled locks. The busts are conjoined at the neck, a distinctive iconographic hallmark of Tenedian coinage referencing local mythological tradition. The field is plain, with no visible legend on this side. |
