| Reverse description | The youthful oikist Taras, nude, rides a dolphin to left in the canonical Tarentine reverse type. He extends a wreath in his right hand and holds a trident in his left, with a star visible in the field. The legend ΤΑΡΑΣ appears to the left of the central device, with the secondary magistrate's mark ΣΙ to the right, rendered in elegant archaic Greek characters consistent with the period's refined die-cutting tradition. |
