| 裏面の説明 | A finely modelled female head facing right, identified as the nymph Arethusa, her hair secured by four bands in the early Syracusan convention. She wears a necklace at her throat, and the portrait reflects the transitional style moving toward the later master-engraver period. Four dolphins swim around the central image in the field, their arrangement framing the head symmetrically. The ethnic legend ΣYPA-KO-Σ-ION is distributed among the dolphins in the field, identifying the issuing city of Syracuse. |

Syracuse's tetradrachms of this period were struck at the height of the city's rivalry with Carthage and Athens simultaneously — a geopolitical pressure that made maintaining a reliable, high-quality silver coinage a political act as much as an economic one. The coin falls within the generation immediately preceding the catastrophic Athenian expedition of 415–413 BC, which Syracuse famously repelled, capturing or destroying the largest naval force Athens had ever assembled.
The Boehringer 666 reference places this firmly within a die study that has allowed scholars to sequence Syracuse's fifth-century output with unusual precision.
