| Obverse description | Head of a youthful male deity facing right, likely the local hero Aigestes or a river god, wearing a wreath of laurel or olive leaves rendered in low relief. The portrait displays archaic stylistic conventions characteristic of Sicilian bronze coinage of the 4th century BC, with schematic facial features and a rounded profile. The hair is depicted in tight, compact locks beneath the wreath. The field is plain with no surrounding legend or inscription. |
