背面描述	A tall, lit torch depicted upright in the center of the field, flanked symmetrically by two ripe grain ears inclining outward; the composition is contained within the round flan with no exergual line or legend, reflecting the civic agricultural symbolism of the Sicilian community of Alaisa Archonidea.

附加信息	Alaisa Archonidea — modern Halaesa Arconidea, on Sicily's northern coast — was founded around 403 BC by the Sikel leader Archonides of Herbita, making it one of the last major Sikel foundations on the island before Roman absorption. The city occupied an unusual political position: nominally independent, it navigated carefully between Carthaginian pressure from the west and Syracusan dominance to the south. This bronze issue falls squarely within the period of Timoleon's campaigns to reorganize Sicilian power, when many smaller mints briefly reasserted civic identity through coinage. The hemilitron denomination signals alignment with the Sicilian bronze weight standard rather than any mainland Greek system.
