Obverse description Bare male head facing right, rendered in the early Sicilian style with tightly curled hair arranged in dense locks framing the face. The portrait displays fine archaic features with a well-defined profile, prominent nose, and strong jawline. A dotted border encircles the design within the coin's field. The effigy is likely a local deity or hero associated with the city of Eryx, rendered with considerable artistry for a small bronze denomination.
