Reverse description A hound standing to the right, actively devouring a severed stag's head held beneath its forelegs; a single annulet appears in the upper field above the hound, serving as the mark of value denoting one onkia. The composition is vigorous and naturalistic, reflecting the hunting iconography closely associated with Segesta's indigenous Elymian identity. The field is otherwise plain. No legend present.
