| Reverse description | The eponymous hero Phalanthos is depicted nude save for a chlamys draped over his shoulders, riding a dolphin to the left in the manner characteristic of Tarentine coinage. He extends his right hand forward to present a crowning Nike, while his left arm cradles a trident. Below the dolphin, a digamma-eta monogram (ͰΗ) appears alongside a stylised wave pattern, denoting a magistrate's mark and the sea. |
