| Reverse description | A double stellate or double floral pattern composed of radiating lines with pellets at their terminals, enclosed within a square linear frame. The Greek civic legend naming Dyrrachion and the magistrate Archippos is divided across the four quadrants surrounding the central motif. Above the frame, a triangular decorative element is visible, and the Greek letters are distributed around the sides of the square. The overall design is characteristic of the standardized Dyrrachion drachm reverse type, produced over a long civic coinage series. |
