| Obverse description | Facing forepart of a lion's head rendered in bold archaic relief, occupying the central field with characteristic stylized musculature and a pronounced mane rendered as radiating striations surrounding the visage. The lion's muzzle is thrust forward in high relief, with deeply incised nostrils and a schematized treatment of the facial features consistent with early Archaic East Greek coinage. The surrounding field is textured with a granular, striated pattern typical of early Samian electrum issues. No legend or inscription is present, as is standard for this early archaic series. |
