| Obverse description | Bearded head of Zeus Ammon facing right, depicted with the characteristic ram's horn curling behind the ear, a syncretic attribute merging the Greek Zeus with the Egyptian deity Ammon. The hair is rendered in thick, flowing locks radiating from the crown, and the beard is full and wavy, rendered in the Hellenistic style typical of Ptolemaic bronze coinage. The portrait fills the flan with bold, high relief modelling consistent with Alexandrian workshop production. |
