| Reverse description | Cow with suckling calf rendered in incuse relief, the design mirroring the obverse type but struck as a deep incuse impression characteristic of the Dyrrachion drachm series. The Greek legend, reading retrograde or in mirror arrangement, arcs across the upper field of the incuse square. The bold, deeply recessed design is a hallmark of the Illyrian coinage of Dyrrachion, providing a strong visual contrast to the raised obverse type. |
