| Reverse description | Within a laurel wreath tied at the base, a dolphin curves to the left beneath an upright trident with three tines clearly visible at its head. The dolphin and trident together constitute the emblematic civic type of the Roman colonia of Berytus, referencing its maritime character and Poseidonian associations. The wreath border is composed of detailed olive or laurel leaves arranged symmetrically around the central devices. |
