Reverse description Dynamic quadriga scene depicting Hades, holding a long sceptre, and Persephone riding in a four-horse chariot proceeding to the right, referencing the mythological abduction of Persephone. To the right stands Hermes, facing right with head turned left, holding his caduceus in one hand and extending the other in a gesture of guidance or offering. In the lower field, scattered poppies, a kalathos (wicker basket), and ears of grain allude to the chthonic and agricultural symbolism associated with Persephone and the Eleusinian mysteries. The regnal date legend appears in the field.
