Obverse description Draped bust of Hermes facing right, wearing a broad-brimmed petasos; the hair rendered in short locks falling to the nape of the neck. The portrait is executed in a competent Hellenistic style, with clearly articulated facial features visible despite the coin's irregular flan and the patina typical of Sicilian bronze issues of this period. No legend or inscription appears in the field.
