| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, rendered in the style of Athenian prototype coinage, occupying the central field. The helmet is depicted with characteristic crested detail and cheekpiece. Flanking the bust are South Arabian letter-forms and subsidiary symbols including what appears to be a caduceus-like device to the upper right and a serpentine symbol to the left. A South Arabian monogram appears in the lower field beneath the bust, consistent with local workshop adaptations of Greek imagery. |
