| Reverse description | A large octopus displayed frontally at center, with the mantle at top and eight tentacles radiating symmetrically outward and curling at their tips, filling the flan in a bold and decorative composition. The ethnic legend ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΩΝ is inscribed around the periphery within a circular border. The octopus, a long-standing symbol of Syracuse and its maritime heritage, is rendered with considerable plasticity and detail, consistent with the artistic standards of the Timoleontic bronze coinage. |
