| Reverse description | A charioteer, clad in a long chiton, drives a biga at full gallop to the right, holding a kentron (goad) in his outstretched right hand and gathering the reins in his left. Beneath the thundering horses, a triskeles symbol faces left, serving as a civic emblem of Sicily. In the exergue, the letter Phi (Φ) appears as a control mark or mint initial. The dynamic composition reflects the high artistic tradition of Sicilian die-engraving. |
