| Reverse description | Dionysos standing nude, facing left, his weight shifted onto his left leg in a relaxed contrapposto pose. In his extended right hand he holds a cluster of grapes, while his left hand grasps a long thyrsos — the staff of giant fennel topped with a pine cone — characteristic attribute of the god of wine. The Greek mint legend is disposed around the field. |
