| Reverse description | A thunderbolt depicted in the centre of the field, rendered as a winged or rayed bolt with volutes and radiating spokes emanating from a central boss, a Hellenistic divine symbol closely associated with Zeus. The Greek royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΠΡΟΥΣΙΟΥ is disposed around the thunderbolt, with ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ in the upper field and ΠΡΟΥΣΙΟΥ in the lower field. The inscription, meaning 'of King Prusias', identifies the issuing monarch. A beaded border encircles the design. |
