| Reverse description | Radiate Apollo standing left in full figure, a quiver slung over his right shoulder, extending his right hand forward to present a wreath and holding a bow lowered in his left hand. The deity is depicted in the Hellenistic manner, nude or lightly draped, conveying divine authority. The royal legend surrounds the field in Greek characters, identifying both rulers and their epithets. To the left of the figure, a monogram appears above the date letters HKΣ, rendered in the Greek chronological system corresponding to 85 BC. |
