| Obverse description | Biga (two-horse chariot) driven at walking pace to the left, the charioteer depicted in profile standing upright on the chariot platform and holding the reins with both hands. Above the horses, a wreath of olive or laurel is suspended in the field, a common victory emblem on Sicilian coinage of this period. The composition reflects the high-relief, finely detailed style characteristic of late fifth-century BC Geloan die-engraving. |
