| Reverse description | A sea-eagle stands to left with wings raised, its talons firmly grasping a dolphin oriented downward. The composition conveys dynamic tension between predator and prey, a recurring civic type of Istros referencing the city's maritime identity on the Black Sea coast. The abbreviated ethnic legend ΙΣΤΡΙ appears above the eagle in Greek characters. The design is rendered in a bold, schematic style typical of late Hellenistic bronze issues from the western Pontic region. |
