| Reverse description | A gorytos (combined bow and quiver case) depicted in left profile, showing the projecting tip of the bow and the rectangular body of the case, rendered in relief with incised detail. The ethnic inscription ΔΙΟΝΥΣΙΟΥ is placed in the lower field beneath the device, referencing the tyrant Dionysius of Herakleia Pontika under whose authority the coinage was issued. The composition is typical of the dynastic bronze issues of Herakleia, associating the city's Heraklean heritage with the arms of the hero. |
