| Obverse description | Diademed head of Antiochos I (attributed, possibly Antiochos Hierax) facing right, rendered in the refined Hellenistic portrait style characteristic of Seleucid royal coinage. The effigy displays finely engraved curling hair bound by a broad royal diadem with trailing ends visible behind the neck. The facial features are idealized yet individualized, with a strong profile, prominent nose, and a youthful, clean-shaven visage. The truncation of the neck is smooth, set against a plain, unadorned field. No legend appears on the obverse. |
