| Reverse description | A hound, rendered naturalistically in profile walking or trotting to the left, depicted with fine anatomical detail typical of Segestan coinage. Beneath the hound, a stylized plant or floral ornament — likely a lily or reed — rises from the ground line. Below the scene, the ethnic legend of the city is inscribed within a linear border, identifying the issuing authority. The composition occupies the full flan and reflects the accomplished style of late fifth-century Sicilian die engravers. |
