Description
Deutsch: Vorderseite: AKRAC-ANTOΣ [ANTOΣ retrograd]. Adler mit angelegten Flügeln nach l.

Rückseite: Krabbe in Aufsicht.

Kommentar: Vor der Emission von Tetradrachmen wurden in Akragas noch im ausgehenden 6. Jh. v. Chr. Didrachmen geprägt. Der Süßwasserkrebs (Telphusa fluviatiles) der Rückseite weist möglicherweise auf den Krebsreichtum oder die Personifikation des Flusses Akragas. Der Adler auf der Vorderseite ist nach Ausweis der Befiederung ein Seeadler (Haliaeetus albicilla) und weist auf die Meernähe von Akragas hin. Der Adler ist auch häufig Attribut des Zeus, für welchen Theron von Akragas einen großen Tempel errichten ließ.
