| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style. The goddess wears an Attic helmet with a prominent upswept crest, the bowl decorated with an applied laurel wreath above the brow. Flowing locks of hair emerge from beneath the helmet and fall along the neck. The portrait is executed with considerable artistic refinement, displaying well-modelled facial features characteristic of late Hellenistic civic coinage from the Troad. |
