| Obverse description | A slow-moving quadriga advances to the right, the charioteer holding the reins in skilled command. Above the chariot, Nike flies to the left, extending a wreath to crown the victorious charioteer. The scene is rendered in the high Classical Sicilian style, with fine detail in the horses' musculature and the billowing drapery of the figures. The composition fills the field with dynamic energy characteristic of the finest fifth-century BC Sicilian coinage. |
