Tetrachalkon

Descrizione del dritto	Veiled female head in right profile, likely depicting Demeter or a local deity, adorned with a beaded stephane along the crown. The hair falls in long, carefully rendered locks beneath the veil, framing a refined profile with delicate facial features. The bust is set within a plain circular border, with the field largely unadorned. The style is characteristic of Sicilian civic bronze coinage of the Hellenistic period, displaying competent but provincial die-cutting.

Descrizione del rovescio	Two torches crossed in saltire, their shafts intersecting at the center of the field, flames rising from both upper ends. The ethnic legend MENAINΩN is disposed around the central device, with letters arranged to fill the field on either side of the torches. A dotted border encircles the design. The crossed torches are a distinctive civic emblem of Menainon, associated with chthonic and mystery cult symbolism common in Sicilian Hellenistic iconography.
