| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena (assimilated to Minerva) facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet with raised crest. The portrait is rendered in a schematic late Hellenistic style typical of Massalian bronze coinage. The abbreviation MAΣ appears in the right field, serving as a civic ethnic for Massalia. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with locally produced hammered bronzes of this period. |
