| Reverse description | A double stellate (star-like) geometric pattern divided by two intersecting lines, all contained within a double linear square border; the magistrate's ethnic abbreviation ΔΥΡ and a club symbol are distributed around the pattern in the angles. The entire design is further enclosed within a linear circle border, creating a layered framing typical of Dyrrachion coinage. |
