| Beschrijving keerzijde | A four-spoked wheel, enclosed within a plain linear border, with two raised pellets placed within each of the four quadrants formed by the spokes, totalling six pellets overall — a standard value mark for the hemilitron denomination in the Siculo-Greek monetary system. The wheel motif, a traditional Syracusan reverse type on small silver fractions, is boldly struck and centrally placed within the circular field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Syracuse was producing some of the ancient world's most technically accomplished coinage during this period, with the city's mint at the height of its artistic ambition under the influence of masters like Eucleidas. The hemilitra — one-twelfth of a litra — served the city's fine denominational system at a moment when Syracuse was consolidating power across Sicily following decades of conflict with Akragas and Leontinoi.
