| Reverse description | An agonistic crown rendered in detail at the centre of the field, adorned with a beaded or jewelled band and containing two upright palm branches crossed within, symbolising victory in the sacred games. The crown sits above what appears to be a prize table or base, a typical reverse type for civic coinage commemorating the Sebasta Kaisareia games celebrated at Metropolis. The reverse legend, divided across the field, names the local strategos and identifies the festival, all within a beaded border. |
