| Obverse description | Diademed head of Hieronymus facing left, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with curly hair secured by a royal diadem whose ties fall behind the neck. The youthful portrait is executed with considerable artistic sophistication, displaying naturalistic facial features characteristic of late Syracusan coinage. The bust is bare, and the portrait is set within a beaded border encircling the coin's field. This effigy is notable as one of the very few surviving contemporary portraits of Hieronymus, the last king of Syracuse. |
