| Reverse description | A ram standing to right in profile, rendered with careful attention to the animal's muscular form, fleece texture indicated by engraved striations along the back and flanks, and head turned slightly upward. The Greek legend MANΔPΩNAΞ, identifying the magistrate Mandronax, is disposed in an arc around the upper field, the letters executed in a clear archaic-to-classical epichoric script. The composition is characteristic of Klazomenian civic bronze coinage of the fourth century BC, the ram serving as a local civic or religious emblem. |
