| Reverse description | An agonistic crown depicted in the centre of the field, adorned with two upright palm branches emerging from its top, the whole serving as the primary type of this civic issue. The name of the festival ΔΑΡΖΑΛΕΙΑ is inscribed within the body of the crown, identifying this as a prize crown commemorating the local games held in honour of the Thracian deity Darzalas. The ethnic legend of the city of Odessos surrounds the design in the field, with the numeral Ε (fifth celebration) also present, indicating the quinquennial or penteteric occurrence of the games. |
