| Reverse description | Centrally placed square meander labyrinth design, rendered in a bold geometric style with multiple concentric rectangular passages converging toward a central chamber — the iconic symbol of Cnossus referencing the mythological Minotaur's labyrinth. The magistrates' legend is distributed around the labyrinth, with portions appearing to the left, right, and along the lower exergual area. The design is a well-known Cnossian reverse type with a long civic numismatic tradition. |
