Obverse description	A prancing horse to the right occupies the central field, rendered in vigorous relief characteristic of Siculo-Punic coinage of the late fifth century BC. An eagle with spread wings attacks or perches upon the horse's back in the upper right field, a motif derived from Syracusan numismatic tradition. A dolphin is depicted in the lower left field, serving as an additional symbol in the exergual area. Below the horse, a small architectural element — possibly an altar — is flanked by Phoenician legend characters, constituting the inscription 𐤒𐤓𐤕 𐤇𐤃𐤔𐤕 reading along the lower exergue. The overall composition blends Greek artistic conventions with Punic epigraphic elements, reflecting the hybrid cultural milieu of western Sicily.
