Reverse description Bearded male head facing left, identified as the river-god Gelas, with wavy hair and a full, flowing beard rendered in fine strands with naturalistic detail. The hair is bound or adorned with a reed or floral element at the side, consistent with river-deity iconography on Sicilian coinage. The field to the left bears a partial inscription; the overall style reflects the high-quality engraving tradition of late 4th-century BC Sicilian mints.
