| Reverse description | Dynamic high-relief depiction of Ares, the Greek god of war, shown as a muscular warrior in full hoplite armour advancing in the foreground, wielding a gilded sword in his right hand and bearing a round shield decorated with a gilt roaring lion's head boss. Several armoured warriors with plumed helmets and spears advance behind him, filling the composition with martial energy. To the lower left, a classical temple — evoking the Parthenon — is rendered in the misty background. The inscription GODS appears to the lower left in the field, and the name ARES is spaced along the lower arc. The border repeats the Greek meander pattern consistent with the obverse. |
