| Reverse description | Head of Arethusa in right profile, her hair bound in a sphendone and wreathed with ears of grain, rendered in the high-relief style derived from Syracusan tetradrachm prototypes. Four dolphins swim in a circular arrangement around the head, occupying the field. The overall design closely mirrors the celebrated Syracusan coinage of the late fifth century BC, reflecting the strong artistic influence of Greek Sicily on Carthaginian monetary production. |
