| Reverse description | A draped female figure, identified as the nymph Himera, stands facing right in three-quarter view, rendered in the Early Classical style with finely engraved drapery falling in elegant vertical folds. She holds a long sceptre or torch in her raised right hand, with her left arm extended downward. The figure is depicted with a high-relief modelling characteristic of Sicilian coinage of circa 464–460 BC. To the right of the figure, the ethnic legend ΙΜΕΡΑ is inscribed in retrograde Greek letters in the field. |
