Obverse description Head of a youthful male deity, most likely the river god Gelas, facing left in three-quarter profile, rendered in fine archaic-transitional style. The hair is depicted in loose, naturalistic waves swept back from the forehead, with individual strands carefully articulated. The facial features are delicate and idealized, with a softly modeled chin and a slightly parted mouth. The neck is bare and emerges from the lower field. A dotted border runs along the coin's irregular flan edge.
