| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Cleopatra III depicted to the right, rendered in the Hellenistic royal portrait tradition. The effigy displays characteristic Ptolemaic stylistic conventions, with the queen's hair elaborately arranged beneath a royal diadem. The flan is small and irregular, consistent with the low-denomination bronze coinage of the late Ptolemaic period. Surface patination and wear obscure finer details, though the portrait type remains identifiable within the Svoronos classification. |
