| Obverse description | Diademed head of a youthful male deity, likely Persephone or a royal portrait, facing left, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with flowing, richly detailed wavy hair bound by a plain diadem. The portrait displays a serene, idealized countenance with delicate facial features characteristic of late Syracusan coinage. The field is plain, and the coin's border is formed by a ring of beads visible along the rim. |
