| Reverse description | A hippocamp moves to the right, upon whose back Amphitrite is seated facing left, her figure draped; she extends her right hand forward to support the infant Eros, who stands facing left with a drawn bow. An ant appears as a control symbol in the right field. The legend BPETTIΩN is inscribed around the design, with the letter Γ serving as an additional control mark. The composition is energetic and mythologically rich, reflecting the high artistic ambitions of Brettian gold coinage. |
