| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Artemis standing left, depicted as a huntress in short chiton, drawing a strung bow with both arms extended in the act of loosing an arrow. A hound runs leftward at her feet, rendered in lively naturalistic style. The Greek ethnic legend ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΩΝ is inscribed vertically to the right of the figure, while the monogram or control marks ΦΙ and ΔΙ appear to the left, all in crisp Greek capitals. The composition reflects the accomplished engraving tradition of the late Syracusan mint during the Fifth Democracy period. |
