| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Seleukos I Nikator in right profile, wearing a distinctive horned and winged helmet adorned with a bull's horn and ear, a celebrated dynastic iconographic device associated with divine and military power. The portrait is rendered with fine detail, displaying the king's strong facial features framed by curling hair visible beneath the helmet. The flan is bordered by a beaded inner circle. The style reflects early Hellenistic portraiture of the Seleucid court. |
