| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Naxos was the oldest Greek colony in Sicily, founded by Chalkidian settlers around 734 BC, and its coins from this period are among the most artistically ambitious of the entire fifth century. The city was razed by Dionysios I of Syracuse in 403 BC, its population enslaved or dispersed — meaning production of this type ceased permanently, and no later issues ever resumed under the Naxian name.
The concentration of major collection references — Lockett, Lloyd, McClean, Jameson, De Luynes — reflects how aggressively nineteenth and early twentieth century collectors pursued this short-lived series.
