| Obverse description | Facing head of the nymph Himera rendered in three-quarter view, her hair loosely arranged beneath a taenia or diadem, with undulating locks radiating symmetrically around the face. The facial features are rendered with characteristic late Classical Sicilian artistry, displaying almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, and slightly parted lips. The portrait fills the flan, with the flowing hair reaching nearly to the coin's irregular edge. No inscriptions appear on the obverse field. |
