Reverse description The reverse field bears a four-line Greek inscription in bold, well-spaced characters arranged across the center of the flan, reading ΒΑΤΑΚΟΣ / ΠΑΡΑΜΟ / ΝΟΥ / ΕΡΥ, identifying the magistrate Batakos, son of Paramonos, and the ethnic abbreviation for Erythrai. In the lower right field, a small figure — likely a bunch of grapes or a kantharos — serves as a civic symbol or secondary type. The coin's surface displays a dark olive-brown patina with areas of encrustation typical of circulated Hellenistic bronze.
