| Obverse description | Diademed head of Perseus facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with richly curled hair swept back from the forehead and a short beard. The royal diadem is tied at the nape of the neck with trailing ends visible behind the ear. The portrait is finely modeled with strong facial features, conveying regal authority, and is set within a broad, unadorned field typical of late Macedonian royal coinage. |
