| Obverse description | The nymph Aigiste (Segesta) drives a fast quadriga to the right, holding grain stalks in her right hand and reins in both hands; above the horses, Nike flies to the left, extending a wreath to crown the charioteer. The scene is rendered in the dynamic style characteristic of late 5th-century Sicilian engraving. In the exergue, a grasshopper is depicted to the right, accompanied by the inscription ΣE-ΛEΣTAZIA above it. |
