| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in fine Classical style with delicate facial features, almond-shaped eye, and slightly parted lips. The god's abundant wavy hair is bound by a prominent laurel wreath whose leaves are rendered in high relief with exceptional naturalistic detail. Loose curling locks fall behind the neck, framing the bare truncation at the base. The field is plain, with no legend, the portrait occupying the full flan in a manner characteristic of the finest Chalkidean League coinage. |
