| 裏面の説明 | Nike, the goddess of victory, strides to the left in a dynamic pose, her drapery rendered in flowing folds characteristic of Hellenistic artistic convention. She carries a trophy over her left arm and extends a wreath forward in her right hand, emblems of military triumph. In the upper left field, a crescent moon appears, with a thunderbolt symbol positioned below it. The Greek royal legend BAΣIΛEΩΣ ΠYPPOY, meaning 'of King Pyrrhus,' appears in the field, asserting the authority of Pyrrhus of Epirus during his Sicilian campaign. The overall composition is vigorous and celebratory, reflecting the propagandistic character of Hellenistic royal coinage. |

Pyrrhus held Syracuse only briefly, arriving in Sicily in 278 BC at the invitation of the Syracusans to drive out the Carthaginians pressing from the west. His Sicilian campaign was militarily aggressive — he came close to eliminating the Carthaginian foothold entirely, capturing Eryx before the siege of Lilybaeum stalled — but his increasingly harsh demands on allied cities eroded support rapidly. He abandoned the island in 276 BC, reportedly lamenting what a fine battlefield he was leaving for Rome and Carthage.
Gold coinage from this occupation is rare precisely because the window was so narrow. The "var." qualifications across all three references suggest this specific die pairing has not been fully reconciled with the known corpus.
