| Reverse description | A characteristic double stellate or star-pattern composed of intersecting lines, pellets, and geometric motifs fills a double linear square with concave sides, the corners adorned with pellets, creating the distinctive cushion-shaped border emblematic of Dyrrachian coinage. The city ethnic ΔΥΡ and the magistrate's name ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥ are disposed around the central pattern in Greek letters. The overall design is deeply engraved and boldly rendered, reflecting the standardised yet hand-struck character of Illyrian civic silver of this period. |
