| Reverse description | A crab is depicted in high relief at the centre of the field, shown from above in a naturalistic manner with the broad carapace prominently rendered and the legs splayed outward to either side. The motif is a well-known civic emblem associated with Sicilian coastal communities and appears frequently on coinage of the region. The reverse field is plain and unlettered, with no legend or additional devices. The flan is irregular with a rough, uneven edge consistent with the hammered production technique of this series. |
