| Obverse description | The Chimaera, the mythological fire-breathing creature and civic emblem of Sikyon, depicted striding left in a dynamic, high-relief composition, with its lion head and forelegs raised in a rearing posture and its serpentine tail curling upward. A laurel wreath appears in the upper field to the right of the creature, serving as a decorative and honorific element. The ethnic abbreviation ΣI is inscribed in the lower field beneath the Chimaera, denoting the issuing city of Sikyon. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, characteristic of high-quality Sikyonian silver coinage of the mid-fourth century BC. |
