Obverse description Poseidon striding vigorously to the right, depicted in the archaic Greek style characteristic of early Magna Graecia coinage. The god is shown nude or semi-draped, with a chlamys draped over his shoulders, his raised left hand wielding a trident in a dynamic, martial pose. The figure is rendered with bold, incuse relief typical of the Poseidonian workshop of this period. The field surrounding the deity is plain, with no exergual line, consistent with the archaic coinage conventions of the mid-fifth century BC.
