| Reverse description | Nude male figure, identified as a youth or athlete, striding dynamically to the right and raising a large ball or sphere above his head with both arms. The figure is rendered in energetic, compact relief with anatomical detail suggesting a mid-fourth century BC Thessalian workshop. The ethnic legend ΠΕΛΙΝΝΑΙ is disposed around the field, partially flanking the figure, within a beaded border. The overall composition is lively and characteristic of the civic bronze coinage of Pelinna. |
