| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in the refined late Classical style characteristic of Chalkidean coinage. The deity's youthful, idealized features are depicted with smooth modelling and a serene expression. The laureate wreath is rendered in detailed relief, with individual leaves clearly articulated across the crown of the head. Long, flowing locks of hair fall in rich, deeply engraved waves behind the neck, displaying the high artistic quality associated with the Olynthian mint. |
