Sear notes: "This masterpiece of late archaic art is probably by the same

hand as the famous 'Demareteion' coinage of Syracuse."

It has been suggested that the first lion on this coin, and the lion on the

obverse of the Demareteion dekadrachm and tetradrachm are a mark of the

master-engraver, who may have been a native of Lentinini.
