| Reverse description | A bee depicted in schematic form at center, facing upward, rendered in the flat, stylized manner typical of late Hellenistic Cretan bronze coinage. The bee, a longstanding emblem of civic identity in the eastern Mediterranean, occupies the central field. The Greek legend ΚΥΡΑ appears in the field, referencing Cyrene or a local magistrate's name. The flan is irregular and the relief is notably flat due to the coarse hammered technique and heavy patination. |
