| Reverse description | Youthful laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine Sicilian die-engraving style with elaborately curled hair adorned with a laurel wreath; long locks fall gracefully to the neck. The Greek ethnic legend ΚΑΤΑΝΑΙΟΝ is inscribed around the field, partially visible to the left and right of the portrait. The finely modeled facial features and flowing hair reflect the high artistic standard of Katane's coinage in the late Classical period. |
