| Reverse description | A charioteer, depicted in profile, drives a fast biga (two-horse chariot) to the right at full gallop; the driver leans forward with reins extended, controlling two powerful horses shown with flowing manes and raised forelegs. A six-pointed star or eight-rayed star symbol appears above in the upper field. A control letter is visible in the exergue below the ground line. The composition follows the celebrated Syracusan tradition of the racing chariot type, rendered with vigorous movement and skilled engraving. |
