| Obverse description | A dolphin depicted in right-facing profile, its arched body rendered in low relief within a plain circular field. The abbreviated colonial legend CORINT appears in the lower exergual area beneath the dolphin, serving as a reference to the Roman colony of Corinth. The design is characteristic of the early colonial bronze coinage of Corinth following Julius Caesar's refoundation of the city in 44 BC. The dolphin, a traditional symbol of maritime Corinth and associated with the god Poseidon, is a common type on the city's ancient coinage. |
