| Obverse description | Wolf in left-facing crouching or charging stance, rendered in robust high relief with musculature carefully articulated, embodying the sacred animal of Apollo Lykeios, patron deity of Argos. The wolf's powerful form dominates the flan, with the head lowered and body tensed in a defensive posture characteristic of Argive civic iconography. A pellet appears in the upper field above the animal's back. The letter Θ, likely denoting a magistrate's initial or civic mark, is present in the field. The style is consistent with Peloponnesian die-work of the early Hellenistic period. |
