| Reverse description | Apollo Delphios seated left on an omphalos, his body nude and shown in three-quarter view, resting his right hand on a grounded bow and holding an arrow in his left hand. The omphalos, a sacred stone symbol of the navel of the world, is rendered with a distinctive net pattern beneath the deity. The Greek royal legend BAΣIΛEΩΣ to the right and ANTIOXOY to the left flank the central type, reading in full 'of King Antiochos.' A control mark (delta) appears in the exergue, and the design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
