| Obverse description | Nude warrior on horseback galloping to right, wearing a Phrygian helmet and short chiton with chlamys billowing behind; the rider's right arm is raised and extended, poised to hurl a javelin. The horse is rendered in vigorous motion with all four legs extended. The composition reflects the high-quality engraving tradition of late fifth-century BC Sicilian coinage. |
