| Obverse description | Diademed head of Zeus facing left, rendered in high relief with full beard and flowing hair secured by a diadem. The portrait displays strong, mature masculine features characteristic of late Hellenistic die-cutting, with deeply modeled curls of hair and beard framing the face. The neck is truncated at the lower field, and the flan is irregular in shape as typical of hammered Cretan coinage of this period. |
