| Obverse description | Head of a youthful male deity, most likely Hephaistos or a local river god, facing right, wearing a laureate or ivy-wreathed cap, with wavy hair rendered in fine archaic style. The portrait is set within a dotted border partially visible at the coin's periphery. The compact flan and small module are characteristic of Sikeliot silver litrai of the early fourth century BC, with the engraving exhibiting the transitional style between late Archaic and early Classical Greek die-cutting. |
