| Reverse description | The Dioskouroi — Castor and Pollux — depicted as mounted horsemen prancing vigorously to the right, each figure bearing a long lance couched forward and a palm branch, emblems of victory. The two horses are shown side by side in dynamic motion, their legs raised in a lively prancing gait. Stars appear in the upper field flanking the riders, the traditional astral symbols of the divine twins. The encircling Greek legend reads ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΜΕΓΑΛΟΥ ΤΙΜΑΡΧΟΥ, proclaiming Timarchos as Great King, arranged around the periphery of the coin with ΤΙΜΑΡΧΟΥ distributed in the lower field. |
