背面描述	Plain sunken field bearing the retrograde Greek inscription ΛΙΠ (an abbreviation of ΛΙΠΑΡΑ, denoting the issuing city of Lipara) arranged horizontally across the centre, flanked above and below by a large prominent pellet, serving as value marks indicating the hexas denomination. The entire design is enclosed within a dotted border circle, typical of Sicilian bronze issues of the period.

附加信息	Lipara, the volcanic island off Sicily's northern coast, was controlled by a Cnidian Greek colony whose isolation and limited resources made bronze coinage a practical necessity long before most Sicilian mints embraced the metal. The hexas — worth two onkiai — occupied an awkward denominational position that few mints bothered to produce consistently, which partly explains its scarcity relative to the litra series. CNS 6/2 is among the earlier attributed bronzes from the Liparaean sequence, placing this piece at the start of the island's numismatic output in the fifth century.
