| Reverse description | Two divinities standing facing, each wearing a tall polos headdress and depicted in a frontal, hieratic stance with arms at their sides or joined. The figures are rendered in a stylized manner typical of late Hellenistic Sicilian bronze coinage. The circular Greek legend ΕΓΕΣΤΑΙΩΝ (of the Egestaians) surrounds the design, identifying the issuing city. The two figures are commonly associated with the Dioskouroi or local Elymian divinities venerated at Segesta. |
