| Reverse description | A crab depicted facing, rendered with careful anatomical detail, occupying the central field within a shallow incuse circle. Six pellets arranged symmetrically in the upper fields serve as the denomination mark for the hemilitron. A crawfish (or lobster) is shown in profile to the left in the lower field beneath the crab, adding a secondary marine motif consistent with Akragas's coastal iconographic tradition. No legend or inscription is present. |
