| 表面の説明 | Laureate and wreathed head of Apollo facing left, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with flowing locks of hair cascading over the neck and shoulder. The facial features are finely modelled with a straight nose, parted lips, and a serene expression characteristic of late Sicilian bronze coinage. A wreath or diadem adorns the head above the forehead. The bust fills the obverse field with no surrounding legend, consistent with the numismatic tradition of Tauromenion in this period. |

| 裏面の説明 | A tall tripod depicted at centre, its three legs extending to the base of the field, with a cauldron bowl at the top and a serpent entwined around the central shaft, referencing Apolline cult symbolism. The composition is flanked on the left by the legend ΤΑΥΡΟ and on the right by ΜΕΝΙΤΑΝ, reading the ethnic of the issuing city of Tauromenion in Greek characters. The overall design is bold and well-centred, typical of the late Hellenistic bronze coinage of Sicily. |

Tauromenion — modern Taormina — occupied a strategically awkward position during the Second Punic War, wavering in its loyalties as Carthaginian and Roman forces contested Sicily. By the time this issue was struck, Rome had reasserted dominance over the island and Tauromenion had settled into uneasy alignment with the new regional power. The city retained its mint largely because Rome found compliant Sicilian civic coinages administratively convenient rather than through any particular grant of privilege.
The CNS 25 classification places this among the heavier civic bronzes of the period, a denomination likely serving local market exchange rather than inter-city commerce.
