| Obverse description | Bare-headed male bust facing right, rendered in a bold, somewhat crude style characteristic of late Hellenistic provincial bronze coinage. The figure displays prominent facial features including a strong brow, aquiline nose, and a full beard, possibly representing Zeus or a heroic deity associated with Messene. The hair is rendered in short, tightly curled locks across the crown. No legend is present on the obverse. The field is plain, with the portrait occupying the majority of the flan. |
