| Reverse description | The Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, depicted as twin equestrian figures advancing to the right, each mounted on horseback and rendered in the dynamic provincial style characteristic of Lacedaemonian civic coinage. The two riders are shown side by side, their horses in mid-stride, with the distinctive piloi caps of the divine twins visible above. The ethnic legend of the Lacedaemonians occupies the lower field and exergue, asserting the civic authority of Sparta as the issuing body. |
