| Reverse description | Full-length nude figure of Neptune (Poseidon) standing facing left, right foot raised and resting on a rock or prow, holding a dolphin downward in his extended right hand and a long trident vertically in his left hand. The deity is depicted in the classical contrapposto stance typical of provincial bronze coinage from Achaea, referencing the maritime importance of the colony of Patrae. The colonial legend appears in the field around the figure. |
