| Reverse description | The reverse displays a double stellate or geometric pattern composed of radiating lines and pellets, enclosed within a double linear square border with pellets at the corners, a hallmark reverse type of Dyrrachion drachms. The central design creates a symmetrical, ornamental appearance often described as a double stellate pattern within a square incuse. The civic abbreviation ΔYΡ appears above the central square, identifying the mint city of Dyrrachion, while the magistrate's name ΠAΡMENIΣKOY is distributed around the remaining border in Greek characters. The overall composition is bold and well-centred, with crisp die work typical of the mint's output during the late third century BC. |
