| Reverse description | Athena Promachos striding vigorously to the right, depicted in full martial panoply, brandishing a spear in her raised right hand and holding a shield on her left arm. The goddess stands upon the prow of a warship (prow right), symbolizing the maritime character of Phaselis. The letter Φ and a coiled serpent flank the central figure, serving as civic symbols, while the magistrate's name ΠΟΛΥΚΡΑΤΗΣ is inscribed in Greek letters below. |
