背面描述	Aphrodite Urania, patroness of the heavens, is depicted seated three-quarters to the left upon a celestial globe, her drapery arranged in classical Greek fashion. She wears a tall conical polos headdress adorned with a star. In her extended right hand she holds a long sceptre or staff surmounted by a celestial disc, while her left hand grasps a torch or sceptre-like symbol. The Greek ethnic legend OYΡΑΝΙΔΩΝ (of the Ouranidai) is inscribed in the field, accompanied by the control letter Λ above the torch symbol.

附加信息	Ouranopolis — "City of Heaven" — was founded by Alexarchos, brother of Kassander, who reportedly invented his own language and styled himself a quasi-divine ruler of this small settlement on the Athos peninsula. The city's coinage is extraordinarily rare, with only a handful of specimens recorded across the major reference collections, and the Berlin example cited in Regling's catalogue has long served as the benchmark for attribution. Alexarchos minted under no conventional authority; this was personal, ideological coinage from a man who may have believed his own mythology.
