Beschrijving voorzijde Facing head of Hera Lakinia, rendered in three-quarter view turned slightly to the right, with large almond-shaped eyes and finely modelled features characteristic of South Italian die-cutting of the early fourth century BC. The goddess wears an ornate stephanos along the upper edge of the coiffure, with loose, wavy locks falling to either side of the face in the field. The treatment of the hair and the frontal presentation reflect strong artistic influence from the Syracusan school. No legend present in the field.

Beschrijving keerzijde A man-headed bull strides to the right, occupying the full width of the coin's circular incuse field, its muscular body rendered with careful anatomical detail; the human head, bearded, is turned to face the viewer in three-quarter aspect. Above, a small figure of Nike flies to the right, extending a wreath to crown the bull's head, a common Campanian iconographic formula symbolising the genius or river-god of the city. The scene is set within a plain linear border, with a granular exergual line beneath the bull's hooves. No legend appears.

Aanvullende informatie

Hyria sat in the Campanian interior, hemmed in by Oscan-speaking neighbors and never quite achieving the numismatic output of the coastal Greek colonies. These nomoi were struck during a period when the city was navigating the aggressive expansion of the Samnites through the region — pressure that would eventually absorb Hyria entirely. The coinage is consequently sparse, and the die links connecting Rutter 147–150 suggest a production run limited to just a handful of working dies.
