| Reverse description | Apollo, depicted in divine seated posture, rides upon a swan in flight moving to the left, holding a lyre in his hands. The composition is rendered in the provincial Greek style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage under the Severan dynasty. The figure of Apollo fills the central field, with the swan's outstretched wings framing the scene below. The encircling legend ΚΑΛΧΑΔΟΝΙΩΝ in Greek identifies the issuing city of Calchedon, disposed in two lines across the lower field. |
