| Obverse description | Facing gorgoneion rendered in archaic style, filling the flan; the apotropaic mask displays wide-set almond-shaped eyes with raised pupils, a broad flat nose, and an open grinning mouth with visible teeth, framed by coiling serpentine locks of hair radiating around the periphery. The deeply modelled relief conveys the characteristic apotropaic intensity associated with Sicilian coinage of this period. |
