| Obverse description | Nude discobolos rendered in archaic Greek style, his body bent forward and inclined to the left in the act of preparing to hurl a discus; the figure displays careful attention to musculature consistent with early Classical coinage. A tripod stands in the field to the right of the athlete. The ethnic legend KOΣ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Kos. The composition fills the flan with dynamic energy characteristic of the early Classical period. |
