| Reverse description | An upright thunderbolt, finely engraved with volutes and radiating wings at its center, occupies the central field. To the right stands a perched eagle facing left, a symbol of Zeus rendered with careful detail to its plumage and talons. The ethnic legend ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΩΝ curves around the periphery of the flan, identifying the issuing city of Syracuse, and the overall composition reflects the austere yet powerful iconographic program of the Timoleontic bronze coinage. |
