| Reverse description | The divine infant Melikertes-Palaimon, patron deity of the Isthmian Games at Corinth, depicted recumbent or riding upon a dolphin moving to the right. This iconic reverse type refers directly to the mythological foundation of the Isthmian Games and was a hallmark of Corinthian colonial coinage. The abbreviated colonial legend is distributed around the field, referencing the colony's full Latin title. The design is executed in the provincial style characteristic of the Corinthian mint under the Antonine emperors. |
