| Reverse description | Hades, enthroned in a galloping quadriga of four horses charging to the right, grasps the struggling figure of Persephone across his lap while holding a long sceptre in his free hand, depicting the mythological abduction (Rape of Persephone). The composition is dynamic and deeply rooted in the Dionysiac-chthonic iconographic tradition favoured by Lydian civic mints. A circular Greek legend naming the local magistrate and the civic ethnic of the Hermocapelitans frames the design. |
