| Reverse description | A battle-axe (labrys or sagaris) and a bow in its case (gorytus) arranged vertically side by side in the centre of the field, emblematic of the civic and military identity of Olbia. To the left of the central devices appears a circular symbol with a cross (possibly a wheel or anchor symbol), serving as a control mark. The ethnic legend OΛBIO appears to the right of the central devices in bold Greek characters, with the letter Φ serving as a magistrate's initial below or adjacent to the main legend. The reverse field shows characteristic green patination with well-preserved device details. |
