Reverse description Poseidon, depicted nude save for a wreath of reeds crowning his head and a chlamys draped and wrapped around his raised left arm, strides vigorously to the left in a dynamic martial pose. His right arm is raised aloft, poised to hurl a trident in a powerful casting motion. In the left field, a monogram appears; in the right field, an ivy leaf is positioned with its point directed downward. The reverse legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΥ, meaning 'of King Demetrios,' frames the scene in Greek characters, asserting the royal title of the issuer.
