| Beschrijving keerzijde | A quiver depicted diagonally across the field, oriented from lower left to upper right, serving as the principal type and emblematic of Apollo, a deity closely associated with Cnossus. The magistrate's name ΘΑΡΣΙΔΙΚΑΣ (Tharsydikas) is inscribed in Greek letters arranged around the quiver, with the letter A appearing as a secondary mark in the field. The surfaces show significant patination and wear consistent with a struck bronze issue of the late Hellenistic period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cnossus retained the right to strike its own bronze coinage well after Rome reorganized Crete as a province in 67 BC, a privilege extended to few Cretan cities. The ethnic ΘΑΡΣΙΔΙΚΑΣ — a magistrate name, not a civic title — places this issue within a small, identifiable series of late autonomous bronzes where the issuing authority was individual enough to sign the coin.
Svoronos catalogued this type carefully, but die linkage studies since have suggested the actual emission was tightly constrained in volume.
