A fast quadriga driven vigorously to the right by Nike, the winged goddess of victory, who holds the reins and a goad as the horses gallop at full stride. In the right field appears the control mark KIΣ, while a crescent symbol is placed above the chariot and an ear of barley with stalk is depicted below, in or near the exergue. The encircling legend BAΣIΛIΣΣAΣ ΦIΛIΣTIΔOΣ, meaning 'of Queen Philistis,' frames the dynamic scene, with KIΣ serving as a die-control or magistrate's mark. The composition reflects the vigorous tradition of Syracusan quadriga reverses, heir to the celebrated designs of earlier masters such as Kimon and Euainetos. |

Philistis was the wife of Hieron II, who ruled Syracuse as king from around 270 BC until the Roman sack of the city in 212 BC — one of the longest reigns in Sicilian history. Her appearance on a silver issue of this denomination is unusual for the period; Syracusan coinage had long centered on civic and divine imagery, and the decision to place a queen consort so prominently reflects Hieron's deliberate cultivation of a Hellenistic dynastic model, borrowing the royal vocabulary of the Ptolemies and Seleucids.
The 212 BC terminus is absolute — the Roman siege under Marcellus ended the mint's output entirely.
