| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bearded head of Dionysus facing right, the hair rendered in loose, flowing locks and the beard in similarly unrestrained curls, characteristic of the free artistic style of late 5th-century BC Sicilian coinage. The god wears a taenia adorned with trailing ivy tendrils, emblematic of his divine attributes. The portrayal exhibits the fluid, naturalistic modeling associated with the so-called 'fine style' of Sicilian engraving. The field around the head is plain, allowing the powerful characterization of the deity to dominate the flan. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A nude Silenus is depicted in a squatting pose, body facing forward with head turned to the left, rendered with the robust, earthy vigor typical of Dionysiac imagery in late 5th-century BC Sicilian coinage. He holds a kantharos in one hand and a thyrsos in the other, both attributes reinforcing the Dionysiac thematic program of the issue. To the left of the figure rises a stem of ivy, adding further symbolic resonance to the composition. The ethnic legend ΝΑΞΙΟΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing city of Naxos. The overall composition is boldly conceived within the circular flan, reflecting the ambitious engraving tradition of Sicilian mint artisans of this period. |
