| Reverse description | A double-stellate pattern occupying the central field, composed of intersecting lines creating a star-within-star geometric motif enclosed within a square border with pellets at intervals. The city ethnic ΔΥΡ appears above, flanked by the co-magistrate's name ΠΥΡΒΑ distributed around the periphery of the design. This double-stellate reverse is the hallmark type of Dyrrachian silver coinage and served as a readily identifiable symbol of civic authority throughout Illyria. |
