| Obverse description | Bare head of a youthful male deity, likely Apollo or a local dynastic figure, facing right, with flowing curly hair adorned with a wreath or laurel, rendered in the Hellenistic style with fine naturalistic detail. The portrait occupies the central field of the flan, exhibiting high relief characteristic of Phoenician mint workmanship of the period. The hair falls in loose locks behind the neck, and the facial features display a serene, idealized expression typical of late Classical influence. No visible legend or inscription appears on the obverse. |
