| Obverse description | Facing right, the draped head of the nymph Histiaia rendered in profile within a plain field. The coiffure is adorned with a wreath of vine leaves and pendant bunches of grapes, evoking the city's famed wine culture, and a pendant earring is visible at the ear. The style reflects the small-module bronze coinage of Euboian civic mints, with characteristic compact modelling of facial features. |
