| Obverse description | The Chimaera, the mythological fire-breathing hybrid creature and civic symbol of Sikyon, depicted in a dynamic striding posture to the left with its leonine head turned forward, mane rendered in fine detail, tail curling upward. The creature is shown with all four legs extended in an energetic gait, conveying strength and movement. The city ethnic abbreviation ΣΙ appears in the lower field beneath the Chimaera, serving as the mint identifier. The design is executed in high relief with accomplished die-cutting characteristic of Sikyonian coinage of the mid-4th century BC. |
