| Reverse description | A double stellate or double linear square pattern fills the central field, formed by two concentric linear squares intersected by radiating lines creating a grid-like, multi-panelled design. The ethnic ΔYΡ (abbreviation for Dyrrachion) appears in the upper field above the square border, while the magistrate's name EOΡTAIOY is distributed around the remaining periphery of the double linear square. The overall design is typical of the standardised reverse type adopted by Dyrrachion during its late Hellenistic civic coinage series. |
