| Reverse description | A large incuse square of circular form dominates the reverse field, within which the capital letter H (the Greek numeral mark for the hexas denomination) is prominently displayed. Two pellets, serving as value marks denoting two twelfths (one sixth) of a litra, are positioned one above and one below the crossbar of the H. The entire device is set within a shallow concave circular incuse, a technique commonly employed in early Sicilian bronze coinage. |
