| Reverse description | Pan, the rustic deity, seated left upon a rock within the Corycian cave, his head turned to the right. His right hand is raised, possibly holding a branch or in a gesture of address, while his goat-like lower body and attributes are rendered in the primitive local style typical of provincial Delphic coinage. The ethnic legend ΔΕΛΦΩΝ appears in the left field, enclosed within a beaded border. |
