| Reverse description | A cock standing to the right in a bold archaic style, depicted with a worm held in its beak, rendered within a dotted incuse square border. The bird's plumage is suggested by incised feather lines, and the upright tail is finely detailed. The incuse square, a hallmark of early Greek coinage technique, dominates the reverse field, with the dotted inner border framing the cockerel motif. The Greek letter delta (Δ), serving as the civic initial for Dikaia, appears in the field to the right of the cock. The composition is characteristic of northern Aegean Thracian city coinage of the early Classical period. |
