| Reverse description | Helios, the sun god, depicted standing erect in a galloping quadriga drawn by four horses charging to the right, holding a whip raised in his right hand to drive the team. The figure is shown frontally above the chariot car, conveying dynamic solar movement across the field. The wheel of the quadriga is clearly articulated in the lower left of the design. The colonial legend C L I COR is distributed around the design within a dotted border, referencing the Roman colony of Laus Iulia Corinthiensis. The overall composition reflects a common Corinthian civic type evoking the mythological association of the city with solar imagery. |
