| Reverse description | A tall lighthouse is depicted in the right field, its tiered structure clearly rendered, serving as a reference to the harbour of Corinth. To the left, a galley under sail advances with oarsmen visible along its hull, evoking the maritime commerce that made Corinth one of the foremost trading cities of the Roman world. The colonial abbreviation legend is distributed around the field. The overall composition is typical of Corinthian colonial bronzes struck under the Antonines, combining civic pride with naval iconography. |
