Beschrijving keerzijde	A Delphic tripod cauldron depicted facing, rendered frontally in high relief within a circular incuse border. The cauldron sits atop three legs terminating in animal-paw feet, flanked by two tall upright handles rising above the bowl. A circular ring or lebes crown surmounts the cauldron. The design is bold and schematic, typical of the geometric rendering favored on Cretan silver coinage of the 4th century BC. The field is plain with no legend or additional devices.

Aanvullende informatie	Axos (also rendered Axos or Oaxos) was a polis of the Cretan interior, situated in the Mylopotamos valley, and among the more prolific coin-issuing cities of ancient Crete despite its distance from the island's major coastal centers. Its silver staters belong to a tradition of Cretan coinage that operated largely outside the dominant weight standards of the Aegean mainland, adhering instead to local conventions that make attribution without provenance genuinely difficult.
