| Reverse description | Crab depicted frontally with prominent claws outstretched, a characteristic civic emblem of Akragas; in the lower field, a ketos (sea-monster) coiling to the right and actively devouring a fish. The partial legend ΑΚΡΑ appears in Greek characters within the field, serving as an abbreviated ethnic of the issuing city. The composition reflects the high artistic quality of Sicilian coinage of the classical period. |
