| Reverse description | A Heraklean club depicted vertically in the center of the field, surrounded by an olive or laurel wreath. The Greek inscription ΛΑ and ΕΠΙ ΕΥΡΥΚΛΕΟΣ is distributed around the club within the wreath, identifying the issuing authority of the Lacedaemonians under the magistrate Eurykles. The lettering is bold and irregular, consistent with hammered provincial bronze coinage of the late Hellenistic or early Roman period. |
