| Reverse description | A dramatic, high-relief depiction of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, dominates the field. The god is portrayed as a powerfully muscled, bearded figure wearing a trident-shaped crown, lunging forward with his right hand raised and his left gripping a gilded trident rendered in selective gold gilding, which stands as the compositional focal point. Massive tentacles of a giant octopus writhe across the lower field, while a nude figure — likely a sea nymph — is visible to the right, ensnared among the creature's coils. The background field is engraved with swirling marine ornamental motifs, sea creatures, and wave patterns, all executed in a deeply sculpted antique finish. The legend POSEIDON is inscribed in large relief letters along the lower arc of the coin, with a serrated border encircling the entire design. |
