| Reverse description | Pegasus, the winged horse, shown in full gallop to the right with wings raised and outstretched, rendered with vigorous dynamism. A figure of Nike (Victory) kneeling below holds a wreath, positioned beneath the creature in the lower field. The Greek ethnic legend ΕΜΠΟΡΙΤΩΝ curves around the lower portion of the design, identifying the issuing city. The composition closely follows Corinthian and Syracusan numismatic prototypes and reflects the strong Greek cultural influence at Emporion. |
