| Reverse description | Nude male figure, identified as Hephaistos, striding to the left in a dynamic pose; he raises a pair of tongs in his right hand and holds a hammer in his lowered left hand, attributes emblematic of the divine smith and patron deity of the volcanic Aeolian Islands. The figure is rendered in a stocky, somewhat archaic style typical of late Sicilian bronze coinage. The ethnic legend ΛΙΠΑΡΑΙΩΝ curves around the figure within a dotted border, identifying the issuing community of Lipara. The coin surface retains a distinctive green patina with areas of red cuprite. |
