Reverse description Apollo Aktaios depicted as a standing male figure facing left, his lower body draped, holding a patera in his extended right hand and resting his left hand upon a kithara set upon an omphalos to the right. A lit altar appears to the inner left of the composition. The legend AΠOΛΛΩNOΣ AKTAIOY is distributed to the right and left of the figure, while ΠAPIANΩN and ΠOΛYKΛHΣ appear in two lines in the exergue, identifying both the civic authority of Parion and the magistrate Polykles responsible for the issue.
