| Reverse description | Eagle standing left with wings closed, displayed in profile, perched above a thunderbolt or on a horizontal ground line. The Greek legend ΣYPAKOΣIΩN arcs around the upper portion of the field, identifying the issuing city of Syracuse. This eagle type is a hallmark device of Syracusan bronze coinage and carries strong Zeusian symbolism. The reverse design is executed in the characteristic bold, somewhat schematic style of late Syracusan civic bronzes. |
