| Reverse description | Facing lion's head with open jaws and prominent mane, rendered in bold high relief in a powerful and naturalistic style characteristic of Leontinoi coinage. Four barleycorns are arranged symmetrically around the lion's head in the field, referencing the city's fertile agricultural territory. The ethnic inscription ΛΕΟΝΤΙΝΩΝ appears in the field, distributed around the central lion device. |
