| Obverse description | A lean hunting hound stands in profile to the right, depicted in a naturalistic and alert posture with head raised and tail curled upward, rendered with confident incuse relief characteristic of early Sicilian coinage. The animal stands upon a simple ground line, its musculature finely articulated. The field is otherwise plain, and the coin is struck on a broad, irregularly shaped flan typical of the period. |
