| Reverse description | The river god Meandros (Maeander) depicted as a reclining male figure turned to the left, holding a reed in his raised right hand and a cornucopia in his left arm, his elbow resting on an overturned vase from which water flows — a standard iconographic convention for river divinities on Greek provincial coinage. The legend ΤΡΙΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ is disposed around the field, with ΜΑΙΑΝΔΡΟϹ identifying the deity. The design reflects the civic pride of Tripolis in its association with the local river. |
