Beschrijving voorzijde A circular hoplite shield rendered in high relief occupies the central field, its raised central boss bearing a facing gorgoneion with serpentine hair and characteristic apotropaic expression. The shield devices are presented in a bold, archaic Sicilian artistic style consistent with Syracusan coinage of the late fifth century BC. The legend ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city-state.
Schrift voorzijde Greek

Beschrijving keerzijde A nude ephebe, depicted in dynamic contrapposto, moves to the left while engaged in the act of strigiling. The figure leans slightly forward, his left foot turned outward toward the viewer and his right foot poised on the toes, conveying athletic movement and balance. His left arm is extended behind his body as a counterweight, while his right hand wields a strigil directed toward his left knee, scraping away the customary mixture of oil and dust following athletic exercise. The composition reflects the refined naturalistic style of Syracusan die engravers of the fifth century BC, with careful attention to musculature and anatomical detail.
