| Obverse description | A bird, identified as an eagle or heron, depicted in left-facing profile standing on a groundline, rendered in a sturdy archaic style characteristic of western Sicilian coinage. The figure occupies the full field of the flan, with detailed feathering indicated on the wings and body. The coin's irregular flan edges are typical of the hammered silver litrai of the Phoenician settlement of Motya. |
