| Reverse description | A bull with head lowered in a charging or butting posture advances to the right, rendered with vigorous naturalism typical of Sicilian civic coinage of the period. A ground line divides the field from the exergue, within which a crayfish is depicted as a local civic symbol. The ethnic legend ΚΑΤΑΝΑΙΩΝ appears in Greek characters above the bull in the upper field, identifying the issuing city of Katane. |
