| Obverse description | The obverse reproduces the design of the ancient Syracusan dekadrachme, depicting a quadriga in full gallop to the right, driven by a charioteer, with a winged Nike figure above crowning the horses. The scene is rendered in low relief, faithfully imitating the classical Greek coin type attributed to the 5th century BC. |
