Obverse: Diademed and draped bust of Diana right with bow and quiver over shoulder. Reverse: Calydonian Boar standing right, pierced by spear and harried by hound below.

Diana, goddess of the hunt, sent the Calydonian Boar to ravage Aetolia after King Oeneus neglected her in his offerings, an episode the moneyer C. Hosidius Geta seems to invoke as a play on his own family name or claimed ancestry.

The Calydonian Boar was finally brought down by a band of heroes led by Meleager and Atalanta, whose hound is shown harrying the beast as a spear finds its mark.
