| Obverse description | Forepart of a winged boar advancing to the left, depicted in high relief with finely rendered globular body scales and a prominent radiate crest along the neck and spine. The outstretched wings are elaborately engraved with multiple parallel feather striations sweeping to the right, occupying the majority of the flan. The forelegs are visible beneath the body, and the head is turned slightly downward, conveying a sense of dynamic forward motion. The design is executed in the archaic Ionian artistic style characteristic of the late 6th to early 5th century BC, with no legend present in the field. |
