| Obverse description | Quadriga driven at full gallop to the right, the charioteer holding the reins taut; above the horses, Nike flies left bestowing a wreath upon the charioteer. A crab appears in the exergue, serving as a civic emblem of Akragas. The composition reflects the high artistic standards of late fifth-century Sicilian coinage. |
