| Reverse description | A pendant bunch of grapes suspended from a vine shoot, rendered in high relief with individually articulated berries, flanked by two broad vine leaves and curling tendrils extending across the field. The composition fills the flan organically, reflecting the viticulture symbolism central to Naxian civic iconography and its association with Dionysos. The reverse type is without legend, relying entirely on the naturalistic grape cluster as the city's emblematic device. Die wear and flan irregularities consistent with hand-struck coinage of this denomination are evident. |
