| Reverse description | The mythological Chimaera, the lion-headed, goat-backed, serpent-tailed beast of Greek legend, depicted in a dynamic leaping pose to the right, all four legs extended in a bounding gait. The creature's composite anatomy is rendered with energy, referencing Corinth's deep mythological association with the hero Bellerophon who slew the beast. The colonial mint legend appears in the lower field beneath the figure, enclosed within a dotted border characteristic of Corinthian provincial coinage. |
