| Reverse description | The ethnic legend ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΩΝ ('of the Syracusans') is inscribed in three lines across the central field, enclosed within a border formed by a circular grain wreath whose ears of wheat meet at the top. The wreath motif, deeply rooted in Sicilian numismatic tradition, frames the inscription in a formal and symmetrical composition. The coin illustrated shows the reverse type clearly, with the Greek letters arranged as ΣΥΡΑ / ΚΟΣ / ΙΩΝ within the wreath. |
