| Reverse description | A tall, upright thyrsus or military standard — depicted as a slender staff with a pointed, leaf-like finial — occupies the central vertical axis of the reverse field. The Greek ethnic inscription ΔΙΟΣΚΟΥΡΙΑΔΟΣ is distributed symmetrically in two columns flanking the central device, reading from upper left to lower right across the field. The bold, well-spaced Greek letters are characteristic of late Hellenistic civic epigraphy. The field is plain, with no exergue line or additional decorative elements. |
