| Reverse description | A bold double-stellate or square incuse pattern dominates the reverse, formed by two overlapping square frames creating a complex geometric design with multiple raised ridges and recessed channels converging toward the centre. Within the interstices of the pattern, pellets and elongated convex segments are visible, giving the design a star-like appearance. The magistrate's name ΔAMΟΦΩΝΤΟΣ (Damophontus) and the ethnic ΑΠΟΛ (for Apollonia) are distributed around the periphery of the incuse square, partially visible along the upper and right edges of the die. |
