| Reverse description | A large winged thunderbolt displayed centrally in the field, its wings spread symmetrically to either side, rendered with fine radiating detail typical of Hellenistic Syracusan coinage. The royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΟΣ ΙΕΡΩΝΥΜΟΥ (Of King Hieronymos) is inscribed in two lines around the device, with the letters ΧΑ appearing above the thunderbolt, likely a mint or magistrate's mark. The overall composition reflects the brief but numismatically significant reign of Hieronymos. |
