| Reverse description | Owl depicted facing, with wings fully spread and talons firmly grasping a lizard, a distinctive iconographic combination unique to Kamarina's bronze coinage. The bird is rendered with naturalistic detail in the feathering of the wings and body. Three pellets arranged in the exergue serve as the mark of value denoting the trionkion denomination. The composition is bold and well-centred, filling the flan with dynamic tension between predator and prey. |
