| Reverse description | A large, boldly incuse Greek letter Alpha (Α) with a distinctive straight horizontal crossbar, serving as an abbreviation for Argos, occupying nearly the entire field. Beneath the crossbar of the Alpha, a club is depicted in relief, a symbol associated with Herakles and widely used in Argive civic iconography. The design is stark and geometric, typical of the municipal bronze coinage of the Argolid in the fourth century BC. |
