The engraver who produced the dies for this coin was fully aware of the work of his predecessors and contemporaries. The head of Terina refers back to the Arethusa of Syracuse, especially those of Euainetos (Evans supposedly read the signature ΕΥΑ on a coin of these types, but no one else has been able to confirm that); and the figure of Nike is reminiscent of those on the coinage of Olympia.
