Reverse description Forepart of a man-headed bull advancing to the left, rendered in the protome format characteristic of Sicilian river-deity iconography. The figure displays a bearded human head set upon a bovine body, with forelegs extended as if in motion. Above the protome, the abbreviated ethnic legend ΣΤΙ is inscribed in Greek characters across the upper field, identifying the issuing community of Stiela. The engraving style reflects the compact, vigorous treatment typical of late fifth-century BC Sikel coinage produced on small silver fractions.
