Reverse description Poseidon Pelagaios standing nude in three-quarter view, striding to the left with right foot advanced and placed upon a rocky promontory or wave. The god raises his right arm and holds a trident poised horizontally in his left hand, conveying dynamic movement and divine authority. The figure is rendered in a vigorous Hellenistic style with musculature finely detailed. The royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΥ is disposed in two lines flanking the central figure, reading vertically on the left and right sides of the field. A monogram appears in the lower left field, serving as a mint or magistrate control mark.
