| Reverse description | A large serpent or grape vine rendered as a circular wreath or coiling motif encircling the central field, within which the abbreviated ethnic legend EP appears in two Greek capital letters. The design is characteristic of small Arcadian bronze issues, with the encircling element framing the civic abbreviation for Orchomenos (ΕΡΧΟΜΕΝΟΣ). The execution is bold but somewhat crude, consistent with the hammered technique and small module of the denomination. The field is otherwise plain. |
