Hemilitron

Descrizione del dritto	Youthful male head facing right, rendered in fine Sicilian style with elaborately detailed curling hair swept back from the forehead and falling in thick waves behind the neck; the facial features are finely modelled with a slightly parted lip and strong profile. The identity is traditionally associated with a local deity or hero, possibly Apollo or a river god. No legend is present in the field. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, characteristic of Sicilian bronze coinage of the late fourth century BC.

Descrizione del rovescio	An eagle displayed in left profile, with wings partially spread and raised, standing over a serpent coiled beneath its talons; the eagle's head is turned downward toward its prey in a dynamic predatory pose. A dotted border frames the left portion of the design, and a control mark or letter appears in the left field. The composition is bold and vigorous, reflecting the high artistic quality of Sicilian die-cutting of the period. No legend is present.
