| Reverse description | An eagle, the principal civic symbol of Akragas, depicted standing to the left with wings spread or partially extended, rendered in typical late Classical style with summary but recognisable feather detail along the flight feathers. The bird stands upon an indistinct ground line or rocky base. A Greek letter delta (Δ) appears as a secondary control mark or mint symbol behind the wing in the left field. The surface shows heavy brown patination with areas of encrustation consistent with prolonged burial. |
