| Obverse description | Dionysos, nude, reclines in ithyphallic pose upon the back of a walking ass moving to the right, his right arm extended and draped over the animal's neck; a small dog or feline frolics beneath the ass's belly. A kantharos or vine shoot appears in the right field. The composition is rendered in high relief with fluid, naturalistic modelling characteristic of the early Classical style of northern Greek coinage. |
