| Reverse description | Facing head of a goat depicted frontally within a recessed incuse square, a format characteristic of early Delphic coinage. Two dolphins flank the central device, oriented downward on either side of the goat's head, referencing the sanctuary's Apolline maritime associations. The abbreviated ethnic legend ΔΑΛ appears within the incuse field, identifying the issuing authority as Delphi (Phokis). The incuse technique reflects archaic Greek minting practice, with the design sunk boldly into the flan. |
