| Reverse description | Poseidon Pelagaeus standing left, nude but for a chlamys draped over his left arm, his right foot raised and resting upon a rocky outcrop, with his left hand gripping a long trident upright. In the left field, a monogram appears above a dolphin, serving as a mint or magistrate control mark. The legend ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ('of King Demetrius') is disposed around the field, asserting the royal title of the issuer. |
