| Reverse description | A man-headed bull advancing to the left, its human head rendered in three-quarter view, representing a river deity in the local Sicilian tradition. A stream of water flows from the bull's mouth, alluding to the riverine nature of the divinity. In the exergue below the groundline, a crab is depicted, a secondary emblem frequently associated with Sicilian coastal communities. The ethnic legend AΛONTINΩN is disposed around the type in Greek characters. |
