| Obverse description | Diademed head of Demetrius I Poliorcetes facing right, adorned with a bull's horn rising from the diadem, emblematic of his divine association with Poseidon. The portrait displays fine Hellenistic workmanship with deeply carved, flowing locks of hair radiating from the crown. A dotted border encircles the design. The facial features are rendered with sharp, idealized precision characteristic of early third-century BC Macedonian coinage. |
