| Reverse description | Forepart of the man-headed bull (the river god Gelas) advancing to right, his muscular bovine body shown in three-quarter view with the bearded human head facing right and adorned with short horns. The legend ΓΕΛΑΣ arcs above in bold Greek letters, and a dotted border frames the left field. The design exemplifies the high-relief die-cutting of Sicilian mint engravers of the Classical period. |
