| Reverse description | The reverse field bears the ethnic legend of the Lacedaemonians arranged in multiple lines within a laurel wreath, a common reverse type for Spartan civic bronze coinage of the Imperial period. The wreath is composed of tied laurel branches encircling the inscription, emphasizing civic pride and the city's identity. The design is straightforward and epigraphic in character, with no figural elements, consistent with the modest scale of this small provincial bronze issue. |
