| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful diademed head of Demetrius Poliorcetes facing right, adorned with small bull's horns projecting from the forehead, an attribute associating the king with Poseidon. The hair is rendered in finely detailed wavy locks swept back from the brow and bound by a royal diadem, with a loose tassel descending behind the neck. The portrait is executed in the high-relief Hellenistic style, with idealized facial features and a commanding profile. The field is plain, with no legend on the obverse, emphasizing the royal effigy as sole decorative element. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Poseidon, lightly draped across the lower body, seated left upon a rocky outcrop, depicted in a commanding semi-reclining posture. In his extended right hand he holds an aphlaston (the ornamental stern-piece of a warship), referencing Demetrius's celebrated naval victories, while his left arm rests upon a long trident planted vertically beside him. The royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΥ runs in the field around the deity, and a secondary control mark in the form of the letter M (mu) appears to the inner left field. The composition reflects the refined artistic conventions of early Hellenistic die-cutting. |
