| Reverse description | A dolphin swimming left in high relief occupies the central field, a longstanding civic symbol of Olbia. The abbreviated Greek legend OΛBIO is inscribed above the dolphin, with the further abbreviation ΦO positioned below, likely referencing a magistrate's name or civic authority. The flan is irregular and the overall strike is characteristic of hammered provincial bronze issues. |
