| Reverse description | A tall tripod occupies the center of the reverse field, with a serpent entwined around one of its legs, coiling upward in a sinuous curve. The tripod, a symbol closely associated with Apollo and the oracle at Delphi, was a frequent civic type on Bithynian provincial bronzes. The ethnic legend ΚΑΛΧΑΔΟΝΙΩΝ surrounds the central device, identifying the issuing city of Chalcedon. The overall relief is somewhat flat due to moderate wear and encrustation, though the principal design elements remain discernible. |
