| Reverse description | Poseidon, the god of the sea, is depicted seated to the right upon a rocky throne or base, his right arm raised and brandishing a trident in a commanding gesture. The figure's muscular form and divine attribute are characteristic of Hellenistic-influenced provincial die-cutting. The civic legend of Ancyra is distributed around the field, identifying the issuing city. Surface corrosion partially obscures the design, but the seated deity and trident remain identifiable. |
