| Obverse description | The river-god Krimisos depicted in the guise of a hunting hound, shown in profile standing left or right in the field; above the figure, a small diademed head of the nymph Aigeste appears in high relief, rendered in the refined Sicilian artistic tradition of the late fifth century BC. The canine form of the deity is rendered with naturalistic detail characteristic of the finest Greek engravers of the period. The composition is open field with no exergue line or border legend. |
