| Reverse description | A swift biga (two-horse chariot) driven vigorously to the right, the charioteer depicted in dynamic motion holding the kentron (goad) and reins with outstretched arms. Above the horses, the monogram MI appears in the upper field. In the exergue below the ground line, the genitive inscription ΙΕΡΩΝΟΣ ('of Hieron') identifies the issuing authority as Hieron II of Syracuse. The composition conveys the energetic movement characteristic of Sicilian chariot coinage. |
