| Reverse description | Trident displayed vertically at centre, flanked on either side by the Greek magistrate inscription referencing the issuing authority and the eponymous official Phokritos. The trident, a symbol closely associated with Poseidon and the maritime character of Byzantion, serves as the principal type. The legend is divided into two columns around the trident, reading ΒΥΞΑΝ to the right and ΕΠΙ ΦΩΚΡΙΤ to the left, referencing the city of Byzantion and the magistrate under whose authority the issue was struck. |
