| Reverse description | A knotted Heraklean club set vertically in the central field, depicted in fine detail with its characteristic lumpy surface suggesting the excised branches. To the right of the club appears the Greek letter K (Kappa), serving as a regnal year date denoting Year 20 of Archelaus's reign. A continuous circular Greek legend surrounds the entire design within the border, reading ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΡΧΕΛΑΟΥ ΦΙΛΟΠΑΤΡΙΔΟΣ ΤΟΥ ΚΤΙΣΤΟΥ, meaning 'of King Archelaus, lover of his fatherland, the founder.' |
