| Reverse description | Forepart of a griffin striding to the right, a traditional civic emblem of Phocaea, rendered with stylised wing feathers and raised forepaw. The magistrate's name ΜΟϹΧΟϹ appears in the field, while the civic abbreviation ΦΩ (for Φωκαέων, 'of the Phocaeans') identifies the issuing city. The die work is characteristic of provincial bronzes of the Claudian era, with the legend partially visible due to the irregular flan. |
