| Obverse description | Forepart of a lion in high relief facing right, with the head dramatically turned back to the left in a characteristic archaic Greek convention. The mane is rendered with bold, stylized curling tufts, and the open jaws reveal the tongue, conveying ferocity. The muscular chest and raised forepaw are visible in the lower field. The design fills the flan with confident, vigorous modeling typical of Chersonesian coinage of the fourth century BC. |
