The coin features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a lion's head with its mouth open, surrounded by a wreath. This design was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage, but the specific interpretation of the lion's head on this coin is still a topic of debate among numismatists. Some believe that it represents the power and strength of the city of Thourioi, while others argue that it symbolizes the protection and blessing of the goddess Artemis, who was often associated with lions in ancient Greek mythology. Regardless of its exact meaning, the design of this coin remains a fascinating example of ancient Greek art and symbolism.
