| 裏面の説明 | Laureate head of the river-god Apollo facing right, his hair adorned with a laurel wreath interwoven with a cluster of grapes, a serpentine curl falling along the neck. Flanking the portrait are two barley ears, emblematic of Leontini's agricultural wealth. A small lion, the civic badge of Leontini, appears below the neck, and the Greek ethnic legend LEONTI–NO–N is disposed around the field in fine archaic lettering. |

Leontini, a Chalcidian colony on the eastern coast of Sicily, was one of the cities that sent delegates to Gela in 424 BC to negotiate the so-called Peace of Gela — a Sicilian congress brokered largely to halt Athenian interference in island affairs. The tetradrachms struck in the preceding decades represent the city's most ambitious coinages, almost certainly produced in part to fund military expenditures during the ongoing conflicts between Sicilian poleis. The die-engravers active at Leontini during this period show clear stylistic debt to Syracuse, unsurprising given the two cities' geographic proximity and shared Corinthian colonial heritage.
The series is well-documented across major collections precisely because so few Leontinian issues survive outside it.
