| Obverse description | Male head in three-quarter facing view, rendered in a schematic South Arabian style derived from Hellenistic prototypes, set within a plain inner circle. The hair is depicted in heavy, banded locks arranged in parallel ridges flanking the face, with a hint of a wreath or diadem at the crown. The facial features are stylized, with a broad forehead and pronounced cheekbones. The surrounding field is bordered by a beaded or granulated outer rim. The overall treatment reflects the local artistic interpretation of Athenian and Seleucid coinage influences prevalent in ancient South Arabia. |
