| Reverse description | Poseidon, the civic deity of Ascalon, depicted standing facing on a short rectangular base, nude, his weight shifted slightly. He holds a dolphin downward in his right hand and a long trident upright in his left hand, reflecting the maritime identity of the Philistine coastal city. The Greek civic legend and city era date appear in the field around the figure. |
