| Reverse description | A nude, bearded Silenos is depicted in a squatting posture, his body oriented frontally but with his head and upper torso turned to the left toward a stemless, two-handled kantharos held in his outstretched right hand. His left hand rests upon his left knee, which is turned forward, while his characteristic animal tail curls outward along the ground behind him. The figure is rendered with robust, expressive modeling consistent with the mature early-Classical style of Sicilian coinage. The ethnic legend appears in the field. |
