| Reverse description | Phalanthos, the mythical Spartan oikist of Tarentum, depicted in three-quarter view riding a dolphin to left, his right arm raised bearing a trident over his shoulder. Nike flies toward him from the right, extending a wreath to crown him, referencing the divine favor accorded to the city's legendary founder. The exergue features a stylized wave pattern beneath the dolphin, and the ethnic TAPAΣ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing city. |
