| Reverse description | A tall cultic vase (situla or patera on stand) depicted centrally within a wreath of laurel. The vase is shown in profile with a pronounced foot and body, symbolic of religious ceremony and colonial foundation rites at Sinope. The legend EX D D, an abbreviation for Ex Decreto Decurionum (by decree of the town council), appears in the field flanking the vase, attesting to the civic authority behind the issue. The wreath encircles the entire reverse design, lending a formal, honorific character to the composition. |
