| Reverse description | A double stellate or double-axe pattern (the characteristic Dyrrachian double-star design) enclosed within a double linear square border, with small pellets at the corners of the inner square. The city ethnic ΔΥΡ appears to the left, and the magistrate's name ΛΑΗΝΟΣ is distributed around the outer border of the square, reading clockwise. The geometric composition is typical of the later series of Dyrrachian drachms. |
