| Reverse description | Zeus advancing vigorously to the left in full stride, his muscular figure depicted in the dynamic Hellenistic manner. His upraised right arm hurls a thunderbolt, while his outstretched left arm bears the aegis draped over the forearm. A small eagle stands to the left, before Zeus's left foot, facing left — an attribute reinforcing the deity's sovereignty. The royal Greek legend encircles the design in two lines, reading ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΔΙΟΔΟΤΟΥ, identifying the issuer as King Diodotos. |
