| Reverse description | A tall amphora with two handles occupies the central field, serving as the primary device and dividing the Greek inscription of the magistrate's name. The legend naming the magistrate Athenaois flanks the amphora on either side, with the ethnic ΧΙΟΣ also present in the field. The style is consistent with Hellenistic civic bronze issues of Chios, with letters rendered in a bold, slightly worn Greek alphabet. |
