| Reverse description | The reverse features a double stellate pattern — a complex geometric design of two superimposed square frames with radiating internal lines forming a multi-pointed star-like arrangement, typical of the coinage of Dyrrachium. The ethnic ΔΥΡ appears at the top of the legend surrounding the central device, with the magistrate's name ΜΕΝΕΚΡΑΤΕΟΣ distributed around the remaining periphery in Greek characters. The design is boldly struck and occupies the full field of the flan. |
