| Reverse description | A kantharos, the two-handled wine cup sacred to Dionysus, depicted in full view at center within a shallow incuse square. The vessel is rendered with clearly articulated high-swung handles, a rounded body, and a broad foot or base, all executed in relief against the recessed square field. The incuse technique is consistent with early fifth-century BC Macedonian coinage practice. The field surrounding the kantharos within the square is plain and unlettered. |
