| Reverse description | A tetrastyle temple rendered in three-quarter perspective view facing left, with four columns supporting a pediment with a triangular roof; the structure is flanked on either side by a tree, evoking a sacred grove setting typical of provincial civic coinage. The composition emphasises the local sanctuary or civic building of Pagae. The ethnic legend ΠΑΓΑΙωΝ (of the Pagaeans) appears in the field or exergue around the temple. The engraving, though worn, reflects the modest but distinctive style of this small Megarian Gulf community. |
