| Reverse description | A hare springs to the right in the central field, rendered with naturalistic energy characteristic of late fifth-century Sicilian coinage; below the hare, a youthful head of Pan faces right, accompanied by a syrinx. The ethnic legend MEΣΣAN-ION is disposed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Messana in retrograde or standard Greek characters. |
