| Obverse description | Bearded, diademed royal portrait in right-facing profile, the hair rendered in long flowing locks descending behind the ear and over the neck in the Hellenistic tradition. The diadem is rendered as a broad band tied at the rear, with visible fillet ends. The bust is truncated at the shoulder. A dotted border encircles the flan. The portrait exhibits a strongly individualized character consistent with late Hellenistic ruler iconography of the eastern dynastic tradition. |
