| Reverse description | A horse advancing or galloping to the right, rendered in a schematic yet energetic style typical of small Achaean bronze coinage of the early Hellenistic period. The abbreviated civic ethnic ΔΥ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Dyme. The flan is broad and irregular, with the design struck somewhat off-center. The reverse surface shows natural patination consistent with ancient bronze. The equestrian motif was a common reverse type for cities of the Peloponnese during this era. |
