| Obverse description | Conjoined draped busts of Heliokles and Laodike facing right, presented in jugate portrait style typical of Hellenistic dynastic coinage. The legend HΛIOKΛEOYΣ arcs above the busts, while KAI ΛAOΔIKHΣ is inscribed below, identifying the royal pair. A monogram appears in the left field behind the busts. The portrait treatment is characteristic of the refined Greco-Baktrian engraving tradition, reflecting strong Hellenistic artistic influence in the region. |
