Reverse description Facing head of the river-god Amenanos, rendered in three-quarter view turned slightly to the left, with a broad, serene countenance characteristic of late fifth-century Sicilian die-engraving. A crayfish is placed to the left of the neck and a fish to the right, both serving as emblems of the freshwater deity. The ethnic legend AMENANOΣ identifies the river-god, while the abbreviated engraver's signature ΧΟΙ appears below the truncation of the neck.
