| Reverse description | Nude male deity, identified as Poseidon, depicted in dynamic striding pose facing left and viewed from behind, right arm raised and extended to hurl a trident (or thunderbolt). A partial civic legend, likely reading MAN (an abbreviation of MANTINEΩN), appears in the right field in Greek characters. The figure is rendered with vigorous musculature characteristic of early Hellenistic die engraving, occupying the full reverse field above a plain exergual line. |
