| Obverse description | Hound standing to right in profile, depicted in a lively, naturalistic style characteristic of Sicilian coinage of the late fifth century BC. The animal's musculature is rendered with considerable detail despite the diminutive flan. A pellet appears in the lower field, serving as the denomination mark for the hemilitron. Traces of a partial ethnic legend are visible along the upper periphery of the flan. |
