| Reverse description | Six pellets arranged in a triangular pattern at center, representing the six onkiai of the hemilitron denomination, enclosed within an open olive wreath with berries, the branches curving symmetrically to either side. Below the pellets, a ketos (sea-serpent) or biga symbol is visible, serving as a type identifier. The overall composition is bold and well-centred within the flan, consistent with Himeran bronze coinage of the late fifth century BCE. |
