| Obverse description | Facing head of a roaring lion rendered in bold, high relief, turned to the left, with open jaws displaying prominent teeth and a finely granulated mane filling the right field. The eyes are rendered as prominent globular forms, lending the design a striking, powerful aspect characteristic of Carian dynastic coinage. The Greek legend ΕΚΑ, an abbreviation for the dynast Hecatomnus, appears in the upper left field. The composition fills the flan with confident artistry, reflecting the skilled die-cutting tradition of the Mylasa mint under Achaemenid satrap rule. |
