| Obverse description | Eagle standing left on a ground line, with wings spread and raised in a characteristic display posture. The bird is rendered in bold, high relief with finely engraved feather detail across the wing and tail plumage. The head is turned slightly upward, the beak open, conveying an alert, majestic aspect. The composition fills the flan with confident artistry typical of the Krotoniate die-cutting tradition of the late Classical period. |
