| Reverse description | Youthful bare head of Hector, the legendary Trojan hero, facing right, depicted without beard in an idealised heroic style reflecting the city of Ilium's proud claim to Trojan heritage. The head is shown with short, neatly rendered hair. The surrounding Greek legend reads ΕΚΤΩΡ ΙΛΙΕΩΝ, identifying the type as 'Hector of the Ilieans', enclosed within a beaded border. The coin's heavily patinated surface shows extensive green and brown encrustation consistent with long burial. |
