| Beschrijving voorzijde | Pegasus in bold high relief, depicted in full flight to the left with wings prominently raised and forelegs extended in a galloping posture. The musculature of the mythical winged horse is rendered with considerable artistic skill characteristic of late Classical Sicilian engraving. In the lower field beneath the horse, the civic monogram of Rhegion appears, composed of the letters rho and eta conjoined, serving as the city's identifying symbol. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rhegion's tetradrachms of this period reflect a city in political convulsion. The tyrant Dionysios II of Syracuse, expelled from his own city in 344 BC by Timoleon's intervention, briefly seized Rhegion before being driven out — the coinage of these years maps directly onto a period of contested control over one of the most strategically vital straits in the western Mediterranean. HN Italy 2507 represents the city reasserting its civic identity in silver at precisely that moment of recovered autonomy.
