| Reverse description | An incuse square with a recessed, intaglio rendering of the selinon (wild celery) leaf, mirroring the obverse type in reverse relief, with the frond's radiating lobes clearly articulated within the square incuse punch. The square incuse frame is deeply impressed and retains a sharp, linear border. This incuse technique is characteristic of early Sicilian and South Italian coinage of the archaic period, reflecting the influence of the Pythagorean monetary tradition associated with Sybaris and its colonies. |
