| Obverse description | Youthful diademed and draped bust of Ptolemy V Epiphanes facing right, the diadem adorned with a laurel wreath, rendered in the idealized Hellenistic royal portrait tradition. The effigy is set within a dotted border, with fine detail in the hair and facial features characteristic of Alexandrian die engravers of the period. |
