| Obverse description | Bearded head of Zeus-Ammon in right profile, rendered in bold high relief with expressive Hellenistic modeling. The deity wears a taenia (fillet) surmounted by the basileion, the distinctive ram-horned crown of Ammon, whose curling horn is prominently visible above the brow. The flowing locks of the beard and hair are rendered in deeply cut, naturalistic waves, framing the powerful profile. A dotted border encircles the upper field. No legend appears on the obverse. |
