| Reverse description | Incuse mirror image of the obverse type, produced by the standard early Tarentine technique of striking the reverse with a plain incuse punch, resulting in a shallow, recessed reproduction of the obverse design — namely Taras astride a dolphin to the right — sunk into the flan in relief intaglio. The incuse field is unadorned, with no legend or additional devices, and the overall surface retains the characteristic concave profile of early South Italian incuse coinage. |
