| Reverse description | A kithara (lyre) depicted centrally in the field, shown frontally with detailed strings and a broad resonating body supported by two arms joined at the top by a crossbar. The Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ appears vertically along the right side of the field and ΠΡΟΥΣΙΟΥ vertically along the left side, flanking the central device. The composition is balanced and typical of Hellenistic royal bronze coinage, associating the king with Apolline symbolism. |
