| Beschrijving voorzijde | Artemis depicted as charioteer, driving a slow quadriga moving to the right, holding the reins firmly in both hands; Apollo stands at her right, releasing an arrow from his bow. The composition reflects an Archaic-to-early-Classical Sicilian artistic tradition of elaborate mythological chariot scenes. A barley grain occupies the exergue, a recurring civic emblem of Selinos referencing the fertile agricultural lands of the polis. The figures are rendered with confident engraving in a style characteristic of the great Siceliot die-cutters of the fifth century BC. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The river-god Selinos, patron deity and eponymous hero of the city, stands facing left in a sacrificial pose, pouring a libation from a phiale over a flaming altar; in his left hand he holds a laurel branch. A cock stands before the altar, and a bull is positioned behind to the left atop a pedestal adorned with a laurel garland, the whole surmounted by a selinon (wild parsley) leaf — the civic plant emblem of Selinos. The encircling inscription ΣΕΛΙΝΟΝΤΙΟΝ identifies the issuing community in majuscule Greek characters. The reverse composition is iconographically rich, reflecting the sacred topography and religious practices of this important Sicilian Greek city-state. |
