| Reverse description | Ornate trident head displayed upright at center, its three prongs elaborately decorated with scrollwork and flanked by volute ornaments at the base, giving the implement a highly stylized architectural quality. To the left of the trident shaft appears the Greek letter Beta (B), and to the right the letter Alpha (A), together forming the royal abbreviation BASILEOS. Below the trident base is an AP monogram and a labrys (double axe), serving as mint or magistrate control symbols. The overall composition is symmetrically arranged within an irregular bronze flan. |
