| Reverse description | A Delphic tripod cauldron depicted in full face, with three legs resting on a flat base and the bowl surmounted by a flame finial, rendered in a bold, schematic style typical of early Hellenistic Cretan issues. The retrograde archaic Greek ethnic legend FAΝΩΙΞ (reading as the ethnic of Axos) is distributed in two columns flanking the tripod, left and right, in the field. The design fills the flan with minimal exergual space. |
