| Reverse description | A double stellate pattern fills the central field, composed of radiating lines forming a star-like design set within a double linear square border, a hallmark reverse type of the Dyrrachion drachm series. The double linear square frame is clearly defined, with the inner square containing the stellate motif rendered with precise geometric regularity. The ethnic abbreviation ΔYΡ (for Dyrrachion) appears above, while the magistrate's name ΔIOΔΩΡOY is distributed around the remaining periphery in Greek letters. The overall design is characteristic of the late Hellenistic colonial coinage of Illyria, combining civic iconography with administrative identification. |
