| Reverse description | A nude boy, rendered in lively Hellenistic style, clings to the back of a dolphin swimming to the right, his arms outstretched and body arched dynamically over the creature. The ethnic legend ΙΑΣΕΩΝ arcs across the upper field, while the magistrate's name ΒΡΥΑΞΙΣ appears in the lower field beneath the central device, identifying this issue to the eponymous magistrate Bryaxis. |
