Obverse description A goat recumbent to left, its head turned back to the right in a characteristic pose, rendered in compact relief. The ethnic inscription ΠΑΡΙ appears in the lower field beneath the animal, serving as the civic legend of the island polis of Paros. The design is enclosed within a border of dots framing the entire composition. The goat, a symbol closely associated with the island's identity, is depicted with careful attention to the animal's musculature and fleece.
