| Reverse description | An owl stands in profile to the right with its head turned to face the viewer frontally, a characteristic pose well attested on Kamarinian coinage. The bird firmly grasps a lizard in its talons, a distinctive iconographic detail unique to this series and likely referencing the local marshy environment of Kamarina. Three pellets, denoting the coin's value of three unciae (tetras), are arranged in the exergue below. The design is presented without an enclosing border or inscription, rendered in a confident, schematic Sicilian style. |
