| Reverse description | Within a shallow incuse square divided into quadrants by intersecting lines, a kneeling nude archer faces right in a dynamic pose, drawing his bow with both arms extended. The figure is identified as Herakles by his characteristic musculature and stance. To the left of the figure, the ethnic legend ΘΑΣΙΟΝ is inscribed vertically in archaic Greek letters. A swastika symbol, an ancient good-luck device, appears in the lower right quadrant of the incuse square. The overall composition reflects the transitional style between the archaic and early classical periods of Greek coin engraving. |
