| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in high relief with finely engraved curling hair and a full, flowing beard. The laurel wreath is depicted with naturalistic detail, its leaves swept back across the scalp. The portrait displays the classical Macedonian die-cutting style, characterized by bold modeling of the facial features and a strong, dignified profile. The field is plain, with a beaded border encircling the design. |
