Reverse description Mythological scene depicting the rescue of Andromeda by Perseus. To the left, Perseus advances rightward, clad in Phrygian cap, his harpa resting at his shoulder, and his right hand extended toward Andromeda. To the right, Andromeda descends from the rocks, her arms outstretched. At the feet of Perseus, the vanquished sea monster (ketos) lies prostrate. The scene is rendered in the vigorous, narrative style characteristic of Alexandrian bronze coinage, with multiple figures arranged in dynamic interplay across the reverse field.
