| Obverse description | Youthful male head facing right, identified as a horned river god, bound with a tainia across the forehead; the hair is rendered in flowing, wavy locks swept back from the face, with the small horn emerging from the upper brow as the divine attribute of a river deity. The facial features are modelled in the rounded, naturalistic style characteristic of Sicilian bronze coinage of the mid-4th century BC. The legend TYNΔAPITAN appears partially in the field to the left, identifying the issuing community. The coin displays a rich blue-green patina consistent with prolonged burial. |
