| Reverse description | The youthful figure of Hermias, local hero and eponymous founder of Iasos, depicted nude and swimming to the right astride a dolphin. The figure leans forward dynamically, clinging to the dolphin's body, with arms extended and legs trailing, conveying vigorous movement through the waves. The Greek ethnic legend ΙΑΣΕΩΝ is inscribed in the lower field beneath the principal device, identifying the issuing city. The composition is well-centered within the round flan, with the dolphin rendered in fine relief. |
