| Reverse description | A young hound, identified as the hunting dog sacred to the local cult, advancing to the right in a lively posture with head turned back over its shoulder; the animal is depicted in fine relief with musculature carefully articulated. The Greek legend ΣEΓEΣTAIB arcs around the field, naming the issuing city. A dotted border frames the design, and a ground line beneath the hound suggests a naturalistic setting consistent with Sicilian civic coinage of the period. |
