| Reverse description | A he-goat, the civic emblem of Ainos, stands in lively prancing pose to the right, forelegs raised and mane rendered with flame-like incised strokes, conveying vigorous movement. The legend ΑΙΝΙΟΝ arches above the animal in clear Greek characters, identifying the issuing polis. A kantharos (two-handled drinking cup), symbol of Dionysiac cult, stands upright before the goat in the right field. The composition is set within a slightly irregular incuse square typical of early fourth-century hammered silver coinage. |
