| Reverse description | Facing head of the nymph Arethusa turned to the right, depicted in archaic style with her hair gathered into a krobylos, bound with a pearl diadem and falling over it in loose locks. She wears a beaded necklace. Four dolphins swim clockwise in the surrounding field, a device emblematic of Syracuse's maritime identity. The ethnic legend ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΟΝ appears around the periphery. |
