| Beschrijving keerzijde | Full-face Gorgoneion of apotropaic type, depicted frontally with wide staring eyes, broad nose, and the characteristic grimacing expression of the Gorgon mask. Beneath the Gorgoneion to the left appears the harpa, the distinctive sickle-sword associated with Perseus, serving as a civic badge of the island. The ethnic inscription ΣΕΡΙ flanks the central device, with Epsilon (Ε) to the left and Rho-Iota (ΡΙ) to the right, identifying the issuing polis of Seriphos. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Seriphos was a minor island polis in the western Cyclades, better known in antiquity for its mythology than its economy — Perseus supposedly turned its tyrannical king Polydectes to stone there using the Gorgon's head. Bronze civic coinage from the island is scarce, and the Copenhagen and BMC specimens constitute the bulk of the documented corpus, suggesting limited and perhaps episodic minting rather than sustained municipal production.
