| Obverse description | Facing right, the pearl-diademed head of the nymph Arethusa rendered in fine archaic style, her hair elegantly coiled and secured beneath a beaded headband with the loose tresses tied up behind. The effigy is executed with characteristic early Syracusan artistry, displaying a delicate profile with clearly delineated facial features. The smooth field surrounding the portrait is unadorned, allowing the finely detailed coiffure and diadem to serve as the focal point of the design. |
