Reverse description Hades, standing erect in a galloping quadriga racing to the right, forcibly seizing Persephone; the dramatic abduction scene is rendered with vigorous movement across the die. Above the horses, a winged Eros flies in the field, brandishing a torch. Below the hooves of the horses, an overturned flower-basket lies in the exergual area, evoking the moment of Persephone's interrupted gathering. The reverse legend naming the strategos Moschianus and the civic ethnic of the Thyatireni frames the scene.
