| Reverse description | Poseidon Pelagaios standing left in a dynamic pose, his right foot raised and resting upon a rocky outcrop, leaning forward as he grasps his trident upright in his left hand. A monogram enclosed within a circle appears prominently in the field between his legs, serving as a mint control mark. The reverse legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΥ runs in two lines flanking the deity, proclaiming the royal title of Demetrius. The composition is bold and sculptural, consistent with the high-quality Hellenistic engraving associated with the Theban mint issue. |
