| Reverse description | Lion standing right on a ground line, depicted with musculature rendered in a bold, naturalistic style typical of late Classical South Italian engraving. Beneath the ground line appears the letter N; in the exergue, a filleted thyrsos is displayed horizontally. The reverse legend YEΛHTΩN, identifying the coin as an issue of the Velians, is disposed around the type, affirming the civic authority of the mint. |
