| Reverse description | Head of the nymph Segesta in right profile, the hair drawn up and secured in a formal bun at the crown of the head, with loose strands framing the face. The ethnic legend ΕΓΕΣΤΑΙΟΝ is disposed around the periphery of the field, identifying the issuing city. The portrait exemplifies the refined, feminine style of Sicilian die-cutting during the late fifth century BC, with delicate facial modeling and careful treatment of the coiffure. |
