| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus Eleutherios facing left, rendered in the late Classical Syracusan style with naturalistic modeling of the hair and beard. An eight-rayed star appears in the field to the right, behind the head. The effigy is set within a plain circular border, with no exergual line. The legend flanks the portrait, identifying the deity as Zeus the Liberator, a reference to Timoleon's liberation of Syracuse from tyranny. |
