| Reverse description | Standing figure of Zeus Ithomatas facing right, wearing a wreath and depicted semi-draped with a chlamys about his lower body, extending his right arm outward and holding a long scepter or spear in his left hand. A small eagle stands at his feet. The vertical Greek legend is inscribed to the left of the figure, and a magistrate's name appears to the right, referencing the issuing authority of Messene. The composition reflects the civic coinage traditions of the Peloponnesian region. |
