The Siculo-Punic coinage of Panormos (modern-day Palermo), minted in the late 5th to early 4th century BC, exhibits a unique fusion of Sicilian Greek and Phoenician artistic traditions. This particular issue from circa 405-390 BC draws inspiration from the tetradrachms and decadrachms of Syracuse. The obverse, featuring a quadriga, is influenced by the work of the engraver Euth... (potentially Euthydemus), mirroring his dynamic style. The reverse shows a female head reminiscent of Kimon’s decadrachms but reinterpreted with distinct local characteristics, including a small swastika on the headband, possibly serving as an artist’s signature. This design reflects a sophisticated adaptation of Greek artistry, indicative of the cultural and artistic exchanges in ancient Sicily.

This Syracusan 100 litrai, or double dekadrachms, dating circa 405 BC, reflects a pivotal period in Syracuse's history under Dionysios. Following the repulsion of an Athenian invasion, Syracuse faced and defeated a Carthaginian incursion, preserving its sovereignty. Crafted with exceptional artistry, the coin features the serene visage of Arethusa on the obverse, reminiscent of the renowned Euainetos' style, while the reverse depicts Herakles' heroic struggle against the Nemean lion. This masterful design captures the city's cultural and political prominence during the late 5th century BC. Syracuse's unparalleled coinage reflects its status as a major Mediterranean power, attracting prominent artists and die-engravers. This coin stands as a testament to Syracuse's glory before its decline and eventual conquest by the Romans, marking a significant chapter in ancient Sicilian history.

The decadrachm of Syracuse is one of the most impressive and celebrated silver denominations of classical times, and remains one of the most fascinating masterpieces in numismatic history. With its large module, this coin offered the engravers of Syracuse ample room to express their mastery. After a brief experimental issue in the 460s BC, the decadrachm was reintroduced under the tyrant Dionysius I in 405 BC, marking an ambitious attempt to elevate Syracuse to the capital of the Greek world. Two of the most distinguished local numismatic artists, Kimon and Euainetos, were responsible for creating the coinage for this series, each infusing their own distinctive style into the well-known emblems of Syracuse. The obverse of the coin depicts a quadriga, a four-horse chariot, triumphing in the race, while the reverse shows the head of the beautiful Arethusa, nymph of the spring of Ortygia, surrounded by dolphins. Both engravers were so proud of their work that they signed their coinage, similar to the practice of modern artists. Some of the decadrachm coinage features symbols, such as a shell, in place of the signature, suggesting the involvement of apprentices who emulated the work of the masters.
