| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of King Hyspaosines facing right, rendered in high relief in the Hellenistic tradition. The king wears a royal diadem with ends visible behind the head, and his curled hair is arranged in loose waves framing the face. The portrait displays finely modeled facial features with a prominent nose and strong jaw, characteristic of the Characene royal coinage. A beaded border encircles the design. The field is smooth and uninscribed. |
