| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in fine Sicilian style with the deity's characteristic idealized youthful features. The laurel wreath is prominently depicted with detailed leaves crowning the head, and flowing locks of hair fall behind the neck. The portrait occupies the central field of the flan with no surrounding legend, the plain field emphasizing the sculptural quality of the die engraving. |
