| Obverse description | Diademed head of Demetrios I Soter facing right, portrayed in idealized Hellenistic style with finely rendered curling hair and a royal diadem tied behind the neck with trailing ends visible. The effigy occupies the full field of the flan, displaying strong, youthful facial features characteristic of royal Seleucid portraiture. The entire portrait is set within a finely detailed laurel wreath border encircling the coin. |
