| Obverse description | Laureate head of youthful Ares facing right, rendered with fine detail and naturalistic modeling; the laureate wreath is rendered with full, voluminous foliage cascading over the nape of the neck in the Hellenistic style. The facial features are youthful and idealized, with a strong profile characteristic of Sicilian die-cutting. Two pellets appear in the field behind the head, serving as a denomination mark indicating the pentonkion value. |
