| Obverse description | Near-facing head of Hermes, turned very slightly to the left, rendered in fine Classical style with softly modeled features. The deity wears a broad-brimmed petasos pushed back on the crown of the head, with curling locks of hair framing the face on either side and falling to the neck. The facial features are naturalistically depicted with almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, and slightly parted lips. The portrait fills the flan with considerable artistic confidence, characteristic of the skilled die-cutters active at Ainos during the fourth century BC. |
