| Reverse description | A winged griffin depicted in a dynamic springing posture to the left, with powerful leonine hindquarters, raised forepaws, and large, finely detailed spread wings filling the upper field. The creature's head is turned alertly with an open beak, conveying vigorous movement. A thunderbolt or similar object appears beneath the griffin's forepaws in the lower field, serving as a ground line element. The composition is boldly modelled in high relief, typical of Syracusan bronze coinage struck under Agathocles. The reverse field is otherwise plain, with no additional legend. |
