| Reverse description | A Capricorn — the hybrid sea-goat emblematic of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and widely employed as a colonial symbol at Parium — is depicted in right-facing profile, its fish-tail curving prominently beneath its body and its foreleg raised. A globe is positioned beneath the creature, while a cornucopia appears above in the upper field. The colonial abbreviation legend is inscribed in large, bold Latin letters below the main type within a border of dots. The composition is bold and well-centred, characteristic of the Parion civic bronze series. |
