| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylized and schematically rendered helmeted bust of Athena facing right, derived from Athenian prototype but executed in a distinctly local Arabian idiom. The crested Attic helmet is rendered as a series of bold parallel strokes across the crown of the head, while the eye is depicted frontally as a large, prominently raised oval pellet — a characteristic feature of Lihyanite coinage. A circular earring is visible below the helmet cheek-guard, and the neck and chin are summarily indicated by shallow relief. The entire design is contained within a roughly beaded border following the oval flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Lihyanite kingdom, centered at Dedan in the Hejaz, occupied a stretch of the incense and spice routes that made it briefly prosperous and largely forgotten by later historians. These anonymous drachms are struck in direct imitation of Athenian types, a common enough practice across the ancient Near East during the fourth and third centuries, but the Lihyanite versions are distinguished by their crude local re-engraving — the product of artisans working from coins rather than from trained die-cutters. Huth's classification remains the primary reference because the series has attracted so little dedicated scholarship.
