| 裏面の説明 | Crab viewed from above, rendered in strong relief with finely detailed claws and carapace, a hallmark emblem of Akragas. Beneath the crab, a fish is depicted in the lower field, swimming to the right, serving as a subsidiary symbol. Two pellets flank the upper field to either side of the crab, likely functioning as value marks denoting the hexas denomination. The design is contained within a plain incuse square border. |

Akragas was among the wealthiest poleis in the ancient world during this period, its prosperity built on sulfur trade and olive oil exports through its strategically positioned southern Sicilian harbor. The hexas — worth two onkiai, one-sixth of a litra — was the workhorse denomination of everyday Sicilian bronze coinage, though Akragas came relatively late to bronze currency, having long preferred silver for nearly all transactions.
This issue predates the catastrophic Carthaginian sack of 406 BC, which ended Akragantine civic independence for a generation and halted the mint entirely.
