| Reverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing left in fine classical style, his wavy hair rendered in carefully engraved parallel locks swept back from the face and bound with a laurel wreath. A laurel branch appears behind the head in the right field, and the legend ΚΑΤΑΝΑΙΩΝ is inscribed around the periphery in Greek characters. The portrait displays the idealized youthful features characteristic of Apollo in late fifth-century Sicilian numismatic art. A dotted border frames the entire composition. |
