| Obverse description | Draped bust of a deity or royal figure facing right, rendered in a Punic artistic style characteristic of Iberian colonial mints of the late second century BC. A palm branch or staff appears prominently in the left field before the bust, serving as a civic or religious symbol associated with the Phoenician heritage of Abdera. The portrait displays a rounded, somewhat stylized treatment of facial features consistent with provincial Punic die-cutting. The flan is irregular and slightly porous, as typical of hammered bronze issues from this series. No legend or inscription accompanies the obverse type. |
