| Reverse description | A horse or stag advancing to the right, depicted in a lively, naturalistic posture with forelegs raised, set upon a ground line. The Greek royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ is inscribed above the animal in the upper field, while ΜΟΣΤΙΔΟΣ appears below in the exergual area, collectively reading 'of King Mostis.' The lettering is in a clear Greek epigraphic hand typical of Hellenistic Thracian royal coinage. The field is otherwise plain, and the coin's irregular flan reflects the hand-hammered production technique of the period. |
