| Reverse description | A Delphic tripod is depicted in full frontal view at the center of the field, rendered with careful detail showing the lebes (cauldron) supported on three legs connected by a lower ring; a circular symbol (Θ) appears to the left in the field. The ethnic inscription ΦΙΛΙΠΠΩΝ is placed vertically along the right side of the field in Greek characters. The design is well-centered within the flan and reflects the Apolline religious associations of the city of Philippi. The composition is characteristic of early Macedonian civic bronze coinage of the mid-fourth century BC. |
