| Reverse description | A distinctive double stellate or granular pattern is arranged within a double linear square frame, creating a characteristic geometric design unique to the coinage of Dyrrachium. The frame is subdivided into compartments filled with pellet or elongated decorative elements, producing a bold, repetitive visual field. The city ethnic ΔYΡ (for Dyrrachium) appears at the top of the square, while the magistrate's name NIKYΛΛOY is distributed around the remaining border of the design. The overall composition is typical of the late Illyrian civic coinage of Dyrrachium, combining formal geometric patterning with official nomenclature. |
