The obverse of the coin shows a horse-drawn carriage, which is crowned with a wreath by a flying goddess of victory. In the panel beneath the carriage there is a leaping lion. The reverse of the coin shows a woman’s head in profile, surrounded by the inscription LEON-TIN-ON and four ears of corn. The coin is what was known as a silver tetradrachma (four-drachma). The inscription tells us that it comes from the Greek colony of Leontini in Sicily. Stylistically, the coin is reminiscent of a series of coins from the Greek colony of Syracuse, which from the beginning of the 5th century BC dominated Leontini politically. However, there are differences in the coins. The woman’s head on the Leontini coin is ringed by ears of corn, while these have been replaced by dolphins in the coins from Syracuse.
