| Reverse description | Eagle standing to the right in a bold, schematic style typical of Lacedaemonian bronze coinage, wings folded against the body and talons firmly planted on a ground line. The Greek ethnic abbreviation ΛΑ appears to the upper left of the eagle, identifying the issuing city of Lacedaemon, while the monogram ΣΩ is placed to the right of the bird, likely denoting a secondary magistrate or mint official. The composition is spare, with the eagle dominating the open field. |
