| Reverse description | A hare springing vigorously to right, rendered in high relief with elongated body and extended limbs conveying swift motion. The ethnic legend ΜΕΣΣΑΝΙΟΝ is inscribed in archaic Greek characters across the lower field below the hare. The border consists of a beaded circle, and the flan shows the characteristic irregular edge typical of early Sicilian hammered coinage. |
