| Reverse description | Two wolf's heads arranged in opposed diagonal positions across the field, their jaws open and fangs rendered in crisp relief, referencing the sacred wolves of Argos associated with the myth of Apollo's wolf cult. Between them, a small winged figure (likely a flying eagle or griffin) occupies the central field. The ethnic legend ΑΡΓΕΙΩΝ is inscribed in Greek characters around the upper periphery, identifying the issuing city-state of Argos. The overall composition is compact and heraldic, typical of Peloponnesian coinage of the Classical period. |
