| Reverse description | A boar standing left in profile, rendered with robust musculature and naturalistic detail, its legs planted firmly on a ground line. An acorn appears in the lower left field before the animal, serving as a civic symbol referencing the oak-forested hinterland of Abakainon. The ethnic legend ABAK is inscribed in archaic Greek characters in the upper field above the boar. The overall composition is compact and well-centered, characteristic of Sicilian mint work of the late fifth century BC. |
