| Reverse description | A dog attacks a dolphin in the central field, with the canine rendered in right-facing profile lunging upon the dolphin, which is depicted swimming to the left. This unusual mythological or emblematic group — likely referencing a local Phocaean tradition, the city's name being associated with the Greek word for seal (φώκη) — occupies the centre of the reverse. The reverse legend in Greek is distributed around the field in multiple lines and along the periphery, recording the name and second tenure of the strategos Marcus Aurelius Theodosianos along with the ethnic of the Phocaeans. |
