| Reverse description | Incuse amphora depicted in sunken relief, rendered as a deep square or slightly rounded incuse punch, a technique diagnostic of early South Italian coinage from Sybaris. The amphora is shown frontally, with two loop handles flanking a broad neck and a tapering body, enclosed within a dotted border. The incuse technique, the mirror image of the obverse type, is characteristic of the Achaean monetary tradition of Magna Graecia in the sixth century BC. The field surrounding the amphora is flat and undecorated. |
