Hexas

Obverse description	Head of a local deity or nymph facing right, with hair elaborately dressed in waves and curls, bound with a diadem or headband. The rendering is characteristic of Sicilian Greek coinage of the late fifth to early fourth century BC, displaying a graceful Classical style. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices. The portrait occupies the full flan, conveying a refined artistic sensibility typical of western Greek bronzes.

Reverse description	A hound in full stride to the right, depicted with naturalistic musculature and animation, set above a ground line beneath which a fish swims to the right, alluding to the aquatic environment of the Segestans. Two pellets appear in the field, serving as value marks consistent with the hexas denomination. The abbreviated ethnic legend ΣΕΓ EΣΤΑΙ is distributed around the hound in Greek characters. The composition is characteristic of Siculo-Elymian civic bronze coinage of the early fourth century BC.
