| Reverse description | Dionysus, the patron deity of Andros, depicted standing to the left in a full-length figure. In his extended right hand he holds a cantharus, the wine cup emblematic of the god, while his left arm rests upon a thyrsus, the fennel-topped staff sacred to his cult. The composition reflects the island of Andros's traditional devotion to Dionysus, celebrated in local mythology and cult practice. The ethnic legend in the field identifies the issuing community. |
