| Beschrijving keerzijde | Aphrodite standing to left, her figure draped, with a dove perched upon her outstretched right hand, a composition emblematic of the goddess's association with the bird. The Greek ethnic legend KATANAIΩN curves around the field, identifying the issuing city. The mark of value Π (pi), denoting one litra, appears to the left of the figure, serving as a denomination indicator within the municipal bronze coinage system of Katane. |

Katane passed directly from Syracusan control to Rome following the fall of Syracuse in 212 BC, making coins struck in this decade witnesses to one of the most consequential transfers of power in Sicilian history. The city had sided with Carthage during the Second Punic War — a decision that cost it dearly when Marcellus took Syracuse after a two-year siege. Bronze civic issues continued under the new Roman administration, though with diminishing autonomy.
The CNS (Corpus Nummorum Siculorum) attribution places this piece among the final autonomous-style bronzes before Roman colonial coinage fully displaced local production.
