| Obverse description | Diademed head of Demetrius I Poliorcetes facing right, adorned with a bull's horn rising from his diadem — a divine attribute associating him with Poseidon. The portrait is rendered in the fine Hellenistic style, with carefully detailed curling hair swept back beneath the diadem, strong facial features, and a youthful yet authoritative expression. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, typical of issues from this period. |
