Product Details

CIT's newest release in the Numismatic Icons collection showcases a stunning lion, symbolizing the god Apollo's affiliation with the animal. Apollo, associated with arts, healing, and light, was also revered as the guardian deity of colonies. Representing power, safeguarding, and divine counsel, the lion underlines Leontini's significance as an agricultural hub and its strong ties to Apollo. Through the lion emblem, the coin underscores the divine protection over the colony, while the barley symbol signifies the prosperity and fecundity of the area. The use of CI numerals in the ancient Greek coinage tradition designates the specific place of origin. And as always, please message me with any questions.
