| Reverse description | Poseidon Pelagaios, god of the sea, stands in heroic nudity facing left, his weight shifted as he draws back his right arm to cast his trident in a powerful, dynamic pose characteristic of late Classical and early Hellenistic divine iconography. The trident is held aloft, poised for release. In the left field a labrys (double-headed axe) serves as a control symbol, while an HP monogram appears in the right field. The encircling Greek legend ΔHMHTΡIOY BAΣIΛEΩΣ, meaning 'of King Demetrius,' identifies the issuing monarch in bold lettering around the reverse field. |
