| Reverse description | The inscription ISTHMIA is displayed in two lines at the centre of the field, referencing the Isthmian Games held near Corinth. The legend is enclosed within a pine wreath, a distinctive symbol of the Isthmian Games, whose victors traditionally received a crown of pine rather than olive or laurel. The field shows substantial wear and patination, though the wreath border and central legend remain legible. This type commemorates Corinth's role as host city of the Panhellenic Isthmian Games. |
