Description
Deutsch: Vorderseite: Eine Kuh steht nach l., ihr Kalb säugend, zu welchem sie ihren Kopf umwendet.

Rückseite: K-O-P [P retrograd]. Kreis, darin ein Quadrat in der Hälfte durch eine Raute mit Mittelpunkt geteilt. In jeder Hälfte dasselbe Ornament aus einer Reihe aus zwei Punkten, zu deren Seiten je drei tropfenförmige Gebilde.

Kommentar: Die Deutung des Rückseitenbildes ist umstritten. Einige Forscher sehen lediglich ein ornamental ausgestaltetes quadratum incusum, wogegen andere eine stilisierte Darstellung der auf Korfu befindlichen Gärten des mythischen Herrschers Alkinoos erkennen wollen. Dessen fruchtbare Gärten werden schon in der Odyssee 7,112-139 beschrieben.

Literatur: C. M. Kraay, Archaic and Classical Greek Coins (1976) Nr. 449 (um 360 v. Chr.).
