| Beschrijving keerzijde | Apollo seated in three-quarter left-facing pose upon a natural pile of rocks, his right hand resting upon his knee and his left hand holding a bow and arrow. The figure is rendered in the Hellenistic style with fluid drapery and careful attention to musculature. The entire design is enclosed within a dotted circular border. A Greek civic legend identifying the mint of Gortyna appears in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gortyna was the dominant city of central Crete during the Hellenistic period, and its coinage reflects a mint operating with considerable autonomy even as Roman influence over the island tightened through the first century BC. This issue falls in the decade before Rome's full conquest of Crete under Quintus Caecilius Metellus in 69–67 BC, a campaign that ended Cretan independence permanently and silenced most of the island's civic mints.
The SNG Copenhagen 449 attribution places this squarely within a well-documented but modestly studied series. Svoronos remains the foundational reference for Cretan coinage, and his Cr#163 classification has held without significant revision.
