| Reverse description | Incuse tripod mirroring the obverse type, with the legs and wreaths rendered in relief within the sunken field, but the serpents are absent; a kithara (lyre) appears to the left. The legend ϘΡΟ is present in the incuse field. The use of the incuse technique on the reverse is a hallmark of early Achaean colonial coinage, following the distinctive style associated with Pythagoras-era South Italian mints. |
