| Reverse description | Three Greek letters ΜΕϟ (abbreviation for Messana) boldly incised across the flat field, arranged horizontally in archaic Greek script. The letters are large and occupy most of the available field, rendered in a plain, monumental style characteristic of early Sicilian coinage. The design is enclosed by a partial border of dots along the periphery of the irregular flan. |
