| Reverse description | Forepart of a lion striding vigorously to the right, depicted in dynamic low relief with open jaws, a prominent mane rendered in detailed engraving, and extended forepaws. A thunderbolt symbol appears below the lion in the lower field, serving as a control mark or mint symbol. The Greek legend ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥ, denoting the royal possessive 'of Philip', is inscribed in the upper field above the lion, running from left to right in archaic Greek lettering. The overall composition fills the flan efficiently, characteristic of the Amphipolis mint workshop under Philip II. |
