背面描述	Hermes depicted standing left in three-quarter pose, holding a caduceus in his right hand and drapery in his left; the mark of value Π (Pentonkion) appears to the left of the figure in the field. The ethnic legend ΡHΓINΩN is inscribed, identifying the issuing city of Rhegion, while the composition reflects standard Hellenistic iconographic conventions for the depiction of Hermes as patron of commerce.

附加信息	Rhegion's bronze coinage of this period reflects the city's precarious position during the Second Punic War and its aftermath — firmly allied with Rome, the city survived Hannibal's campaigns intact while much of Bruttium was devastated by shifting loyalties and retaliatory Roman pacification. The pentonkion denomination, worth five unciae, was part of a bronze fractional system adapted from the earlier Sicilian and South Italian weight standards rather than the Roman libral system, placing Rhegion's monetary identity closer to its Greek colonial roots than to its Roman allies.
