| Reverse description | Head of the local nymph or deity facing right, depicted in archaic-to-early classical style, with elaborately rendered wavy hair bound by a diadem or wreath and adorned with an earring. The bust is set within a shallow incuse square with a raised inner border, typical of early Sicilian archaic coinage. A partial Greek legend reading ΣECEΣTAZIB runs within the incuse field around the portrait, identifying the issuing city of Segesta. |
