| Reverse description | Crested Illyrian-type helmet facing left, depicted in profile with cheekpiece and prominent crest rendered in fine detail, set within a shallow incuse square with a linear inner border. The royal legend APXEΛAO (for Archelaus) is disposed around the helmet in Greek majuscule letters, identifying the issuing king. The incuse square is a hallmark of early Greek hammered coinage technique, providing structural contrast to the raised central device. The overall composition is compact and heraldically bold, consistent with Macedonian regal types of the late fifth century BC. |
