| Obverse description | Facing forepart of a lion rendered in archaic style, depicted with prominent globular mane formed by a cluster of pellets, open jaws and a wrinkled forehead. The animal's muscular shoulders and raised forepaws are visible in the lower field. The design fills the irregular flan with bold, deeply cut relief characteristic of Karian civic coinage of the late fifth century BC. |
