| Reverse description | Octopus depicted with bulbous head uppermost and eight sinuously curled arms radiating outward, all contained within a deeply recessed incuse square of quadripartite form. The design is boldly executed in the archaic convention of Greek coinage from Euboea, with the tentacles rendered in a stylised, symmetrical arrangement against the flat incuse field. |
