| Reverse description | Incuse rendering of Taras astride a dolphin, mirroring the obverse type in sunken relief as is characteristic of the early South Italian incuse coinage tradition. The figure is shown facing right, the body rendered in a dynamic, striding posture with limbs extended, the head turned in profile. The surrounding border features a granulated or cable pattern forming a distinct raised rim around the incuse field. The design reflects the hallmark technique of Magna Graecia coinage of this period, wherein the reverse is a direct incuse counterpart of the obverse, struck with a single working die against a plain anvil die. |
