Reversbeschreibung	A large bunch of grapes depicted facing, with individual berries rendered as a series of raised globules arranged in a conical cluster tapering toward the stalk at top. The type alludes to the viticultural wealth of the Tauromenion region on the eastern coast of Sicily. The design is contained within a plain raised border of dots, with no accompanying legend. The overall composition is simple and bold, typical of Sicilian civic bronze coinage of the Hellenistic period.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Tauromenion — modern Taormina on Sicily's northeastern coast — occupied an unusual political position during this period, having survived the Roman reduction of Syracuse in 212 BC as a nominally autonomous ally rather than a subject city. Bronze issues of this size from the mid-second century BC reflect the town's continued operation of a local mint under Roman hegemony, a privilege not extended to all Sicilian communities.
