| Reverse description | An owl, the civic symbol of Kamarina, depicted facing with wings spread and head turned three-quarters to the right, rendered in bold high relief. The bird grasps a lizard in its talons, a distinctive iconographic feature unique to Kamarinian coinage. The composition is set upon a ground line, with three pellets below representing the three onkiai of the denomination. The naturalistic treatment of the feathering and alert expression reflect the accomplished engraving tradition of late fifth-century BC Sicily. |
