| Reverse description | A large octopus depicted frontally and filling the entire field, its bulbous mantle prominently rendered at centre with six sinuous, sucker-bearing arms radiating outward in dynamic symmetry. The tentacles are articulated with rows of raised pellets representing suckers, executed in bold archaic relief characteristic of South Italian coinage. The flan is irregular and the design extends nearly to the coin's edge. |
