Pentonkion 450 BC - 439 BC

The Pentonkion coin features a unique design on its obverse side, depicting a horseman riding a horse in a galloping pose, with the horse's head turned backward. This design is known as the "wild horseman" motif and is a common feature on ancient Greek coins. It's believed to represent the mythological figure of the centaur, a creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse. The use of this motif on the Pentonkion coin may have been intended to symbolize the power and strength of the city of Akragas.
