| Obverse description | Bare head of a young male deity, most likely the river god Gelas, facing right, with short, naturalistically rendered curling hair rendered in the fine Sicilian style of the early fourth century BC. The portrait displays the refined artistic quality characteristic of Geloan coinage of this period, with delicate facial features and a subtly modeled profile. The field is plain and unlettered. |
