| Reverse description | The reverse presents the identical type of Apollo with daimon and stag rendered in deep incuse relief, sunk into the flan in mirror image to the left, the design produced by the same die working in the incuse technique characteristic of early coinage from the Achaean colonies of Magna Graecia. The incuse field is smooth and unadorned, with no legend present. The bold negative relief creates a striking visual contrast to the raised obverse design, and the figures, though reversed and compressed, retain clear anatomical articulation. |
