| Obverse description | Chimera advancing left in a dynamic, striding posture, with the foreleg raised and claws extended, rendered with high artistic quality characteristic of late Classical die-cutting. The creature's leonine body is finely detailed with a flowing mane, while the serpentine tail curls upward toward the right. Below the figure in the field, the ethnic abbreviation ΣE appears in incuse, identifying the issuing city of Sikyon. The composition fills the flan with confident, vigorous relief. |
