| Reverse description | A fish depicted in profile facing right, occupying the central field of the reverse in a bold, schematic rendering characteristic of Sinopean civic bronzes. The fish is rendered with clearly articulated body and tail, serving as the traditional maritime emblem of the Black Sea colony of Sinope. The Latin colonial legend C I F SINOPES — abbreviating Colonia Iulia Felix Sinopensis — is distributed around the design, attesting to the city's Roman colonial status. |
