| Obverse description | A mule-biga (two-mule chariot) advancing to the right, driven by a charioteer seated left and holding reins; the nearside mule depicted in careful detail with a dotted border partially framing the scene. A large spoked wheel is visible beneath the chariot. The composition reflects the celebration of Anaxilas's victory in the mule-cart race at Olympia, rendered in the archaic Greek artistic style characteristic of early fifth-century Sicilian and South Italian coinage. |
