Reverse description A distinctive double-bodied owl stands facing, with two conjoined bodies sharing a single frontal head, its large round eyes rendered in high relief with bold, stylized feathering across the wings and breast. A crescent symbol appears to the right in the field. Below the owl, the civic ethnic legend ΣΙΓΕ is inscribed in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Sigeion. The composition closely echoes Athenian owl iconography while adapting it to a unique local double-bodied type.
