| Obverse description | Draped bust of Artemis facing right, her hair elaborately arranged in flowing waves and gathered into a large floral bun at the back of the head, with a loose curl descending to the neck. The goddess wears a small earring and her chiton is visible at the truncation. The portrait is rendered in fine Hellenistic style with delicate facial features, the field entirely plain. |
