| Reverse description | A caduceus — the herald's staff of Hermes entwined by two serpents — is depicted prominently in the central field, flanked by a knotted club to the left, referencing Heracles, the traditional patron hero of Cos. The civic legend ΚΩΙΩΝ identifies the issuing community, while the magistrate's name ΣΟΦΟΚΛΗΣ appears as the responsible authority. The composition is framed by a beaded border. The reverse iconography reflects the island's strong religious and civic associations with both Heracles and Asclepius. |
