| Beschrijving voorzijde | Taras, the mythological founder of Tarentum, depicted nude and riding a dolphin to the left in the archaic style, his body shown in a dynamic, twisted posture characteristic of early South Italian Greek coinage. His right arm is raised and extended forward, while his left arm reaches backward, conveying vigorous movement across the field. The figure is rendered in high relief with bold, somewhat schematic musculature consistent with the earliest Tarentine nomos series. The retrograde ethnic legend ΤΑRΑϞ appears partially in the field to the left. The flan is broad and irregular, typical of the hammered fabric of this early period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Incuse rendering of Taras astride a dolphin, mirroring the obverse type in sunken relief as is characteristic of the early South Italian incuse coinage tradition. The figure is shown facing right, the body rendered in a dynamic, striding posture with limbs extended, the head turned in profile. The surrounding border features a granulated or cable pattern forming a distinct raised rim around the incuse field. The design reflects the hallmark technique of Magna Graecia coinage of this period, wherein the reverse is a direct incuse counterpart of the obverse, struck with a single working die against a plain anvil die. |
