| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Kore-Persephone facing left, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with flowing, elaborately dressed hair adorned with a wreath of barley ears, a characteristic attribute of the goddess. Loose curling locks fall along the neck, and a small serpent is visible amid the hair. A six-pointed star appears behind the head in the field, serving as a divine symbol. The portrait is executed with exceptional relief and naturalistic detail, consistent with the refined Syracusan engraving tradition of the late third century BC. No legend appears on the obverse. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A fast biga driven at speed to the left, depicted in dynamic perspective with the horses in full gallop. The charioteer, clad in a long chiton, grasps the reins firmly in one hand while wielding a kentron (goad) in the other. Beneath the horses, the letter alpha (Α) appears in the field as a control mark. In the exergue, the Greek legend ΙΕΡΩΝΟΣ identifies the coin as an issue of Hieron II, king of Syracuse, in the genitive case denoting possession or authority. The composition reflects the long-standing Syracusan tradition of depicting the victorious chariot race, ultimately derived from the celebrated coinage of the fifth century BC. |
