| Reverse description | Poseidon Pelagaios standing left in a commanding contrapposto pose, his left foot raised and resting upon a rocky outcrop, his body slightly inclined forward as he steadies himself. He holds a long trident upright in his right hand, his nude athletic figure rendered in the classical Hellenistic style. The royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΥ is inscribed in the field, flanking the deity. A monogram or control mark K appears to the outer left of the figure, while a grape bunch appears to the outer right, serving as a mint control symbol associated with the Chalkis mint. |
