| Beschrijving keerzijde | Naked male figure, identified as the Cretan god or hero, standing facing with head turned to the right, holding a long spear or javelin in the right hand and a large oval shield resting on the ground in the left hand; the figure is rendered in a striding or athletic pose. The ethnic legend ΓΟΡΤΥ (for Gortyna) appears divided in the field, reading to the left and right of the figure, within a beaded border. The composition reflects the civic pride and strong artistic tradition of the Cretan city-state of Gortyna. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gortyna was one of the dominant poleis of central Crete, and its coinage reflects a civic identity distinct from the northern Cretan mints at Knossos. The references here — Svoronos and SNG Copenhagen — place this drachm within a well-documented but relatively small corpus. Cretan silver of this weight standard follows the Aeginetan tradition, heavier than the Attic norm, consistent with the island's broader commercial orientation toward the Peloponnese and Aegean rather than Attica.
