| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in the Attic style characteristic of late classical coinage. The goddess wears a crested Attic helmet adorned with scroll palmette decorations on the bowl, with the crest sweeping prominently over the crown. The facial features are finely rendered with a large eye depicted in archaic frontal convention, a straight nose, and slightly parted lips. The neck is visible below, and the ear is indicated beneath the helmet's cheekpiece. The overall style is a close imitation of the Athenian prototype, typical of Arabian imitative issues of this period. |
