| Obverse description | Laureate head of a youthful male deity, most likely Apollo or a deified portrait of Agathokles, facing left. The hair is rendered in fine curling locks beneath a wreath of olive or laurel leaves, executed with remarkable three-dimensional relief characteristic of late Syracusan die-engraving. The features are idealized in the Hellenistic manner, with a strong profile, clearly defined brow, and finely modeled chin. No legend appears on the obverse field. |
