| Reverse description | Athena Ilias standing to right, draped in chiton and himation, holding a distaff in one hand and a filleted spear in the other. To her right stands Tyche, facing left, holding a cornucopia; a monogram appears to the left of the main figure. The scene references the cult of Athena Ilias at Ilion, with the full Greek legend distributed around the field naming the issuing magistrate Metronaktos, son of ...olamanthos. The composition is arranged within a circular border, typical of late Hellenistic civic coinage of the Troad. |
