| Beschrijving keerzijde | The abbreviated ethnic legend RE in large Greek characters occupies the center of the field, with a single pellet set between the two letters, sometimes enclosed within a small circle, serving as a mark of value denoting one onkia. On some specimens the letters appear retrograde. The field is plain and enclosed by a dotted border, consistent with the minimal decorative style typical of small Rhegine bronze fractions of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rhegion, the Greek colony at the toe of Italy, issued bronze fractions in small numbers during the fifth century BC, a period when the city was navigating tense relations with neighboring Lokroi and the broader power struggles of Magna Graecia. The onkia — one-twelfth of an as — represents the lowest practical denomination in the bronze sequence, used for the smallest daily transactions in a busy Straits port.
The Weber and Copenhagen references for this type are consistent, suggesting die links across known specimens are limited. Few examples survive in any condition.
