| Beschrijving voorzijde | Charioteer driving a fast quadriga to the right, rendered in dynamic archaic style; above, Nike flies right crowning the horses with a wreath. In the exergue, a ketos (sea-monster) swims right. The composition fills the broad flan with vigorous energy characteristic of the early Syracusan die-cutting tradition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Syracuse dominated the coinage of fifth-century Sicily, and the tetradrachm was the engine of that economy — used to pay mercenaries, finance naval operations, and settle debts with Carthaginian traders pressing from the west. The decade bracketing 450–440 BC falls within the so-called "fine style" transitional period, after the archaic conventions had loosened but before the celebrated die-engravers like Kimon and Euainetos transformed the series into something approaching sculptural showmanship.
The Boehringer sequence places this emission within a tightly documented die study; cross-referencing with the ANS and McClean concordances allows reasonably precise die attribution. Boehringer 582 specifically.
