Reverse description Kantharos (wine cup) shown in frontal view within a shallow incuse square, with flanged handles rising above the rim and a broad foot below. The inscription ΝΑΓΙ appears in Greek letters distributed around the central device in the field, identifying the issuing city of Nagidos in Cilicia. The reverse design is characteristic of the autonomous bronze coinage of Nagidos, with the kantharos serving as the city's principal reverse type.
