| Reverse description | A large Greek alpha (Α) dominates the field as the principal civic monogram of Argos, with the letter Ρ (rho) positioned to the upper right, forming the abbreviated ethnic ΑΡ for ΑΡΓΕΙΩΝ. Beneath the crossbar of the alpha, a frontal bucranium (ox skull) is depicted in low relief, serving as a secondary type associated with Argive religious and civic iconography. The design is boldly rendered within an irregularly shaped flan typical of small Hellenistic bronze issues. |
