| Reverse description | An owl standing facing, with head turned slightly to the right and large circular eyes rendered in relief, perched atop a rocky or ground line. To the right of the owl, an olive branch with berries is depicted in the field. To the left, the Greek legend ΟΛΥΜΠΙΣ is inscribed vertically in the field, identifying this issue with a magistrate's name. The composition is compact and well-centered, consistent with the Tarentine drachm series referencing Athenian iconographic traditions. |
