| Reverse description | Winged figure, likely a stylized eagle or Nike with outstretched wings, displayed frontally in the center of the field; the four letters of the civic ethnic ΚΑΤΑ are arranged in the four quadrants around the central device, one letter per quadrant, within a plain border. The design is characteristic of the archaic Sicilian coinage tradition, with the bold, symmetrical arrangement serving both as identification of the issuing city and as decorative composition. |
