| Reverse description | Central field occupied by the upright club of Herakles flanked to the right by a Macedonian-style bowcase (combined bow and quiver), rendered in relief with fine detail of the bowcase's decorative straps and tip. To the left of the club stands an owl facing right with head turned to face the viewer, a symbol of Athena commonly employed as a civic badge by Erythrai. The Greek ethnic EPY (abbreviation for ΕΡΥΘΡΑΙΩΝ) appears to the left field, and the magistrate's name ΣΟΚΡΑΤΗΣ is inscribed vertically between the club and the bowcase, identifying this issue within the civic coinage series. |
