| Reverse description | Poseidon Pelagaios standing left in a heroic, contrapposto pose, his right foot raised and resting upon a rocky outcropping, his muscular nude body depicted with Hellenistic anatomical precision. The god holds a long trident upright in his left hand, while his right arm is extended and resting upon his raised knee. Monograms of the mint magistrate appear in the outer left and right fields, serving as control marks. The royal legend ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ — meaning 'of King Demetrios' — is inscribed along the upper and lower periphery of the reverse in bold Greek majuscule letters. |
