| Reverse description | Head of the nymph Gyrtone facing right, adorned with a stephane (diadem crown) rendered with fine detail typical of Thessalian bronze coinage of the period. The hair is carefully arranged beneath the stephane, and the portrait displays the graceful feminine style characteristic of fourth-century BC Greek numismatic art. The ethnic legend ΓΥΡΤΩΝΙΩΝ appears to the left of the effigy in the field. |
