| Obverse description | A nude youth seated astride a goat moving to the right, rendered in lively archaic style. The rider holds a musical instrument aloft in his raised hand, conveying dynamic movement. In the lower field beneath the goat, a locust is depicted, serving as a civic symbol associated with Himera. The figures are boldly modelled in high relief against a plain field, characteristic of late fifth-century Sicilian bronze coinage. |
