| Reverse description | A hound, depicted in a dynamic crouching or pouncing posture, stands over a prostrate hare, with its head turned back to the left in the characteristic 'looking back' attitude common to Segestan coinage. A single pellet appears in the field before the hound, serving as the value mark denoting one uncia. The ethnic legend ΣEΓΕ – ΣΤΑ is inscribed in Greek characters distributed in the field around the central device. The composition is bold and naturalistic, reflecting the vigorous animal style prevalent in western Sicilian bronze coinage of the period. |
