| Beschrijving keerzijde | Eagle standing to left with wings displayed, depicted in a naturalistic Hellenistic manner with finely engraved feathers rendered in overlapping layers across the body and spread wings. A tripod is visible to the left of the eagle, serving as an emblem of civic or religious authority. The Greek legend ΑΛΑΙΣΑΣ ΑΡΧ, abbreviated for Alaisa Archonidea, is distributed in the field, partially along the right and upper periphery within a dotted border. The composition fills the flan vigorously, the eagle's tail and wing-tips nearly reaching the coin's irregular edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alaisa Archonidea was a Sikeliot city on Sicily's northern coast, refounded by the Sikel leader Archonides of Herbita around 403 BC and granted notable privileges by Rome following its early submission during the First Punic War. The city's coinage is sparse by any measure, and this bronze belongs to a municipal series produced in the final phase of that conflict — precisely when Alaisa's political alignment with Rome was consolidating its unusual degree of civic autonomy among Sicilian communities.
The Buceti reference places this piece within a small, well-documented hoard corpus from the northeastern Sicilian interior.
