| Obverse description | Veiled female head in right profile, likely depicting Demeter or a local deity, adorned with a beaded stephane along the crown. The hair falls in long, carefully rendered locks beneath the veil, framing a refined profile with delicate facial features. The bust is set within a plain circular border, with the field largely unadorned. The style is characteristic of Sicilian civic bronze coinage of the Hellenistic period, displaying competent but provincial die-cutting. |
