| Reverse description | Facing head of a goat rendered frontally within a recessed incuse square, with two dolphins swimming downward flanking the central motif, one to the left and one to the right. The abbreviated ethnic inscription ΔAΛ appears in the field, referencing Delphi. The incuse square treatment is typical of early Phokian silver coinage, and the bold frontal animal head demonstrates the archaic artistic conventions employed by the Delphic mint during this period. |
