| Reverse description | A prow of a galley oriented to the right occupies the central field, rendered in stylized relief, evoking the naval prowess of Demetrius Poliorcetes. The abbreviated royal legend 'BA' (for BASILEOS, 'of the King') is positioned in the upper field, flanking the prow to the left and right in Greek characters. The composition is characteristic of Hellenistic bronze civic and royal issues celebrating maritime military power. |
