| Reverse description | Head of a lion facing right with jaws wide open and tongue prominently protruding, rendered with bold plasticity typical of early Classical Sicilian coinage. Behind the lion's head, a tripod is depicted in the field. Surrounding the central device, three barley grains are arranged symmetrically in the field, referencing the agricultural wealth of Leontini. The ethnic legend LEONTINON is inscribed around the design in archaic Greek characters, identifying the issuing city-state. |
