| Reverse description | A draped male figure, laurel-crowned and seated to the left upon a rocky outcrop, dominates the central field in high relief in the manner of an ancient Greek coin type. The figure holds a large lyre in his left hand and plays it with his right, evoking the allegory of Amphictyon or a Muse of Hellenic civilization. A ceremonial tripod vessel is depicted to the lower left of the figure. The legend ΑΜΦΙΚΤΙΟΝ is distributed in archaic-style Greek lettering around the periphery of the field, with the engraver's initials visible at lower right. |
