| Reverse description | Prow of a war galley advancing to the right, rendered in detail with oar-banks and hull strakes visible; a winged caduceus appears to the right of the prow in the field. The magistrate's name ΜΑΡΑΙΟΣ is inscribed above, and the ethnic ΛΕΥΚΑΔΙΩΝ appears below, identifying the issuing community of Leukas. The composition is characteristic of the nautical imagery favored by Akarnanian coastal cities during the Hellenistic period. |
