| Reverse description | A single ear of grain (wheat or barley) oriented to the left, with a dolphin beneath it also facing left, the two devices arranged vertically within the field. The ethnic legend ΟΛΒΙΟ appears above the ear of grain, identifying the issuing city of Olbia. This type-combination of grain ear and dolphin is a hallmark of Olbian civic bronze coinage, emblematic of the city's agricultural wealth and maritime commercial activity on the Black Sea. |
