| Reverse description | A strung bow contained within a gorytos (combined bow case and quiver) is depicted in left profile in the upper field, rendered with careful detail showing the bow's recurved tips and the decorated case. Beneath it, a knotted club lies horizontally across the lower field, referencing the attributes of Heracles as civic patron of Herakleia. The ethnic legend ΗΡΑΚΛΕΩΤΑΝ ('of the Herakleians') is inscribed in two lines across the center field in clear Greek capitals, serving as the city's identifying inscription. |
