| Obverse description | Draped bust of Athena Ilias in right profile, wearing a laureate and crested Attic helmet adorned with a floral motif above the brow, her flowing hair rendered in wavy strands cascading onto her shoulder. The goddess is depicted with refined Hellenistic facial features, exhibiting a serene and idealized expression characteristic of the civic coinage of Ilion. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, with the bust occupying the left-center of the field, leaving the right field largely plain. |
