| Reverse description | A Heraklean club depicted vertically in the central field, symbolizing dynastic strength and legitimacy. The royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΡΧΕΛΑΟΥ ΦΙΛΟΠΑΤΡΙΔΟΣ ΤΟΥ ΚΤΙΣΤΟΥ ('of King Archelaus, Philopatris, the Founder') is arranged in the field around the club. The date letters Μ and Α appear in the left and right fields respectively, indicating regnal year 41 (RY 41, corresponding to AD 5-6). The inscription is rendered in neat Greek uncials consistent with the official Cappadocian royal mint style. |
