| Reverse description | A square meander labyrinth rendered in bold low relief, filling the central field of the flan. The labyrinth design is composed of concentric angular corridors arranged in a distinctive square maze pattern, a device long associated with the mythological Labyrinth of Knossos and the legend of the Minotaur, serving as a principal civic emblem of the colony. The design is well-centred on the irregularly shaped flan, with the maze corridors clearly defined despite heavy green patination and surface encrustation. No legend appears on the reverse. |
