Beschrijving keerzijde Facing lion's head depicted full-face in bold, apotropaic style, with deeply recessed triangular nostrils, prominent brow ridges, and short tufted mane rendered by incuse strokes above the forehead. The lion's muzzle is broad and foreshortened, the eyes deeply set, conveying a fierce and stylized aspect. The design is centrally placed on a plain, unlettered field and is typical of the civic emblematic imagery associated with Rhegion's coinage of this period.

Aanvullende informatie

Rhegion's mint was shuttered for decades following Dionysius I of Syracuse's brutal sack of the city in 387 BC, during which he reportedly sold the surviving population into slavery. The resumption of coinage in the mid-fourth century marks the city's partial recovery under renewed autonomy, and these tiny fractional silvers represent the earliest phase of that restored output.

HN Italy 2504 is among the smaller denominations of this revival series. At under a gram, these pieces saw real commercial use in daily transaction — the kind of wear-prone, easily-lost coinage that makes fine survivors genuinely uncommon.
