| Reverse description | Athena standing right in a static, hieratic pose, extending her right hand to hold an owl and grasping with her left hand a downward-pointing spear, emblematic of the city's patron deity. The figure is rendered in the conventional Athenian provincial style, with drapery falling in schematic folds. The ethnic legend ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ curves around the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. |
