| Reverse description | Silphium plant displayed frontally at centre, with a broad heart-shaped capitulum at the apex and spreading lateral branches terminating in smaller seed-bearing heads, the whole rising from a bifurcated root system. A crescent is visible in the upper right field, serving as a subsidiary symbol. The Greek legend KOINON is inscribed in the left field along the periphery, referencing the Kyrenaian civic federation. The composition reflects the canonical reverse type of Kyrenaican bronze coinage, in which the silphium plant — the city's principal economic commodity — serves as the primary emblematic device. |
