| Reverse description | Androklos, the mythological founder of Ephesus and hero venerated across Ionia, strides vigorously to the right wearing a billowing chlamys, his arm drawn back to hurl a spear at a boar charging toward him from the left. The composition evokes the legendary hunt of Androklos, a founding myth of the region. A dog runs to the right at his feet, contributing to the narrative dynamism of the scene. The reverse legend in Greek appears in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. |
