| Reverse description | The reverse displays a Greek civic inscription arranged in five lines across the field, recording the issuing city and the names of the local magistrates responsible for the coinage. The text reads ΕΡΥ (abbreviation for Erythrae) on the first line, followed by ΕΚΑΤΩΝΥΜΟΣ on the second and third lines, and ΑΙΣΧΡΙΩΝΟΣ on the fourth and fifth lines, identifying the magistrates Hekatonymos and Aischrio. The lettering is broadly spaced and deeply engraved in the provincial Greek manner, filling the flan with minimal decorative elements. The coin's irregular flan shows a characteristic flaw or chip at the lower edge. |
