| Reverse description | Taras, the youthful oikist and eponymous founder of the city, depicted nude and riding a dolphin to the left in the canonical Tarentine manner. He holds a distaff in his extended left hand, with a ship's prow rendered in the lower field beneath the dolphin serving as an additional symbol. The ethnic legend TAPAΣ is inscribed in the field, referencing the city's name in the Doric dialect. |
