| Reverse description | An eagle stands in profile to the right upon a thunderbolt, its wings spread wide in a heraldic display, a type closely associated with the Diomedean and Daunian traditions of Apulian coinage. The thunderbolt serves as both perch and symbol of divine authority, referencing the Olympian sphere. Below the eagle, four pellets are arranged in a horizontal row, serving as the mark of value denoting the quadrunx denomination. The ethnic legend ΟΡΡΑ appears in Greek characters in the field, identifying the issuing city of Orra (Hyria). |
