| Reverse description | Poseidon Pelagaios seated left on a rocky promontory, his muscular torso nude and his lower body draped in a himation. His right arm is raised and extended forward, holding a trident upright, while his left hand rests upon his knee. A prow of a warship appears at the lower left of the field, referencing Demetrius's celebrated naval victories. A monogram appears in the left field. The royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ to the left and ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΥ to the right of the central figure identifies the issuing king in Greek characters, with the composition conveying both martial and divine authority. |
