| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in high relief with fine artistic detail characteristic of the Macedonian royal mint at Pella. The deity is depicted mature and bearded, with thick, voluminous curls flowing behind the neck and a prominent laurel wreath encircling the head. The beard is rendered with carefully articulated curls, and the facial features convey a serene, divine authority. The flan is slightly irregular, as typical of hand-struck coinage of the period, with the design centered within a plain field. |
