| Obverse description | Diademed head of the young Antiochos, son of Seleucus IV, facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition with finely detailed curling hair secured by a royal diadem, the ends of which fall behind the neck. The portrait displays youthful, idealized features with a smooth jawline and strong profile. The field is plain, with no legend on the obverse, emphasizing the royal effigy as the sole design element. |
