| Reverse description | A large, bold thunderbolt (keraunos) depicted in the centre of the field, rendered with stylized wings or barbed tips at both ends in the characteristic Syracusan manner. The legend ΣYPAKOΣIΩN is distributed around the device, identifying the issuing authority of the Syracusans. The flan is irregular and the surface exhibits typical patination of a circulated bronze issue. The design composition is schematic and emblematic, reflecting the civic pride and divine authority invoked during Timoleon's democratic restoration. |
