| Reverse description | The infant deity Melikertes-Palaimon depicted supine upon the back of a dolphin moving to the right, the figure rendered in a recumbent pose with limbs relaxed. Behind the central group rises a prominent pine tree, a sacred symbol closely associated with the Isthmian Games and the cult of Palaimon at Corinth. The colonial abbreviation appears in the lower field, attesting to the Roman colonial status of Corinth as Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis. |
