| Reverse description | Incuse rendering of the same tripod type as the obverse: the tripod with wreathed legs terminating in lion's paw feet is depicted in intaglio, with the wreaths appearing in relief within the sunken design. The overall composition mirrors the obverse in layout, a hallmark of the Achaean incuse coinage tradition of Magna Graecia, whereby the reverse repeats the obverse type in complementary relief and incuse. |
