| Obverse description | Sea eagle standing to left with wings folded tightly against the body, rendered in a bold archaic style typical of Sicilian mint engraving of the mid-fifth century BC. The bird is depicted in profile, with strong, defined feather lines conveying naturalistic detail within the small flan. The partial legend ΑΚΡΑ appears in the field to the right, identifying the issuing city of Akragas. |
