| Obverse description | Diademed head of Malichus I facing right, with flowing hair rendered in stylized wavy locks characteristic of Nabataean portraiture. The effigy displays a broad diadem tied behind the head, with ribbon ends visible. The portrait is set within a plain field, bordered by a dotted inner circle partially visible at the rim. The modeling of the facial features reflects the Hellenistic artistic tradition adapted to local Nabataean style. |
