| Obverse description | Head of a nymph or female deity in profile facing right, rendered in the early Classical style characteristic of Tarentine coinage of the period. The hair is elaborately arranged with flowing locks falling behind the neck and a strand curling forward over the cheek. The modelling of the facial features is delicate, with a refined profile typical of South Italian Greek die-cutters of the mid-fifth century BC. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription. |
