| Reverse description | Two conical helmet-shaped objects (interpreted as the Dioscuri's piloi, the characteristic caps of Castor and Pollux) set upon a low rectangular base or altar, each surmounted by a star. A small figure, possibly a bird or deity, appears to the left. The Greek ethnic legend ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΩΝ arcs around the upper field, with additional letters visible in the lower exergue. The composition is enclosed within a dotted or linear border. |
