| Obverse description | Dionysos, bearded and draped in a himation, reclines to the left upon the back of a donkey walking to right in a lively, naturalistic rendering characteristic of early Classical Greek coinage. The god extends his right hand forward holding a kantharos, while his left arm rests upon the saddle cloth. In the exergue, a grasshopper is depicted facing right, serving as a subsidiary device. The composition is rendered with considerable artistic refinement, conveying the relaxed, convivial character of the deity. |
