| Reverse description | Ajax, helmeted and in military dress, shown falling upon his sword to the left in a dramatic scene of heroic suicide; to the left, a rocky outcrop; below the figure, a round shield rendered in relief. The reverse legend ΠΡΟΥϹΑΕΩΝ encircles the field, referencing the city of Prusa ad Olympum. The composition reflects the civic pride of Prusa in its mythological traditions, rendered in a bold, deeply struck provincial style. |
