| Reverse description | Poseidon Pelagaios standing nude, facing left in a dynamic contrapposto pose, his right foot resting on a rock or prow, right arm raised and holding a trident upright, his chlamys draped over his extended left arm. The deity's powerful, athletic physique is rendered in high relief, reflecting the finest Hellenistic sculptural tradition. The royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ runs vertically along the right field and ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΥ along the left field. A dotted border encircles the design. |
