| Reverse description | Apollo seated left upon the omphalos, the sacred navel-stone of Delphi, rendered in a composed and dignified posture befitting the god of prophecy. He holds an arrow in his extended hand while his other arm rests upon a grounded bow at his side. The ethnic legend ΡHΓINΩN (of the Rhegians) appears in the field along with the value mark Π (pentonkion), identifying both the issuing city and the denomination. The composition reflects the strong Apolline religious tradition associated with Rhegion and its coinage throughout the Hellenistic period. |
