| Reverse description | The mythological founder Phalanthos, depicted nude, seated astride a dolphin swimming to left. In his outstretched right hand he holds a Nike figurine who crowns him with a wreath, while his left hand grasps a distaff or spindle. The ethnic legend ΤΑΡΑΣ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing city. The scene alludes to the foundational myth of Taras, son of Poseidon, rescued by a dolphin. |
