| Reverse description | A peacock stands facing with its tail feathers spread in a full fan, displayed frontally to fill the circular field. The bird's elaborate plumage is rendered in stylised detail characteristic of provincial bronze coinage. The ethnic legend ΑΡΓΕΙωΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority of Argos. The peacock is a symbol associated with Hera, whose principal sanctuary at the Heraion was closely linked to Argos. |
