| Reverse description | An eagle displayed standing left upon a thunderbolt, with a tall palm tree rising behind to the right — a composition emblematic of Cretan civic imagery. The eagle, a symbol of Jupiter and imperial power, is rendered in a schematic provincial style. The Greek civic legend ΙΕΡΑΠΥΤΝΙΩΝ ΕΠΙ ΑΥΓΟΥ curves around the upper field, citing the issuing city of Hierapytna and the magistrate Augurinus under whose authority the coin was struck. The flan is irregularly shaped and shows typical surface patination of a circulated Cretan provincial bronze. |
