| Reverse description | Frontal goat's head facing the viewer directly, with short curved horns projecting laterally, rendered in incuse relief within a recessed square. Two dolphins are positioned flanking the goat's head, their bodies arching upward on either side in a symmetrical arrangement. The incuse square is deeply struck and well-defined, consistent with early Greek hammered coinage technique. The combination of a frontal animal head with flanking dolphins is a distinctive typological feature of Phokian federal issues attributed to the sanctuary city of Delphi. |
