| Obverse description | Confronted foreparts of two horned and bearded goats facing one another across the field, their bodies separated by a central pellet, the entire device positioned above an exergual line. The design is rendered in archaic Greek style characteristic of the late Archaic period, with compact, stylized animal forms. The composition is symmetrical and tightly arranged within the flan. |
