| Reverse description | A dolphin leaping to the right occupies the upper portion of the field, its arched body rendered with naturalistic detail. Beneath the dolphin, a lyre is depicted in the lower field, serving as a secondary symbol referencing Apollo's patronage of music. The ethnic legend NAΣI appears in Greek characters, identifying the issuing authority of Nesos. The composition reflects the maritime and Apolline iconographic vocabulary common to Sicilian Greek coinage of the Hellenistic period. |
