| Reverse description | A dolphin leaping to the left, rendered with naturalistic energy, with stylized wave patterns below representing the sea. The entire design is contained within a beaded border. The ethnic legend ΛΙΠΑΡΑΙΩΝ is distributed around the upper and lower fields, identifying the issuing community of Lipara (modern Lipari), the principal island of the Aeolian group. The dolphin is a common maritime emblem on coinage of Sicilian and island communities in this period. |
