| Reverse description | A figure, identified as Orpheus or a Muse, seated astride a leaping or galloping animal, holding a lyre in both hands. The composition is dynamic, with the rider shown in three-quarter view against a plain field. Below the animal, the ethnic legend appears. The engraving is vigorous and typical of Hellenistic municipal bronze issues from the Aeolian region. |
