| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing left with wings spread, depicted in the bold and confident style characteristic of Syracusan bronze coinage of the early Hellenistic period. The bird is shown with finely engraved feather detail on both wings and body, standing on a plain ground line. A thunderbolt symbol appears to the left in the field. The Greek legend ΙΚΕΤΑ runs vertically along the left field, referencing the issuing magistrate Hicetas. |
