| Reverse description | Athena Promachos striding vigorously to the right in a dynamic martial pose, clad in a chiton and himation with finely engraved drapery folds, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet. Her right hand is raised and brandishes a thunderbolt, while her left arm is extended bearing a round shield. The Greek legend ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΩΝ appears to the left of the figure and ΠΥΡΡΑ (an abbreviated reference to Pyrrhus) to the right, identifying both the issuing city and the regent under whose authority the coin was struck. |
