| Obverse description | Two ram heads facing forward in jugate arrangement, rendered in bold archaic relief, sharing a common neck; each head is adorned with a grape cluster motif between the horns, with pendant earrings visible below the ears. Above the heads, a dotted border frames a pair of upward-curving ram horns surmounted by a central leaf or palmette ornament. The composition is enclosed within a beaded outer border and exhibits the vigorous, slightly stylized modeling characteristic of early fifth-century Delphic coinage. |
