| Obverse description | Head of a local deity or nymph facing right, with hair elaborately dressed in waves and curls, bound with a diadem or headband. The rendering is characteristic of Sicilian Greek coinage of the late fifth to early fourth century BC, displaying a graceful Classical style. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices. The portrait occupies the full flan, conveying a refined artistic sensibility typical of western Greek bronzes. |
