| Reverse description | Crab displayed frontally at center, its carapace rendered with naturalistic detail and two prominent eyes at upper field; the eight legs are spread symmetrically across the flan, with the chelae raised. Below the crab, a series of short diagonal strokes suggests waves or a ground line. The ethnic legend HIME-RA is inscribed in archaic Greek characters around the lower portion of the design, identifying the issuing city of Himera in Sicily. |
