| Obverse description | A selinon (wild celery or parsley) leaf rendered in high relief, depicted frontally with a broad, symmetrically spreading frond and clearly articulated lobes radiating from a central stem; the leaf rises from a short stalk at the base of the flan. The design occupies nearly the entire field of the irregularly shaped flan, with no legend or border. The naturalistic rendering of the plant is characteristic of the early archaic coinage of Selinos, whose very name derives from the Greek word for the celery plant. |
