| Obverse description | Quadriga moving slowly to the right, driven by a charioteer who holds the reins firmly in both hands; the horses are rendered in archaic style with careful attention to musculature. The inscription SVRA/SION (with koppa substituting for the initial letter) appears in two lines above the quadriga in the field. The composition reflects the early Syracusan coinage tradition closely associated with the Deinomenid period, displaying a bold and confident archaic aesthetic. |
