| Reverse description | A fully armed Patraean warrior mounted on a rearing horse advancing to the right, poised to deliver a downward spear-thrust at a fallen or crouching enemy below. The adversary raises a round shield in defence against the impending blow, creating a dramatic scene of combat. The composition is vigorous and dynamic, closely related to Macedonian royal iconography of the period. The Greek legend ΠΑTΡΑΟΥ appears in the field, identifying the issuing king. |
