| Reverse description | Hypsipyle, the mythological Lemnian queen, depicted advancing to the left with arms outstretched, her head turned back in a gesture of alarm. She gazes towards the infant Archemorus, who reclines to the left upon a rocky outcrop around which a serpent is coiled and entwined — referencing the mythological episode in which Hypsipyle set down the child, who was then fatally bitten by the serpent. The scene is rendered in the narrative style typical of Nicopolitan provincial coinage, with the encircling legend in the field. |
