| Reverse description | Triptolemus, the mythological hero of the Eleusinian Mysteries and patron of agriculture, is depicted standing in a winged chariot advancing to the right, drawn by two winged serpents. The figure holds grain ears or a torch in the Hellenistic tradition. The composition fills the upper field of the flan, while a horizontal ground line separates the main device from the regnal date legend below in exergue. The imagery reflects the Alexandrian mint's synthesis of Greek mythological and Egyptian agricultural symbolism. |
