Reversbeschreibung	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.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Chios maintained a remarkable degree of autonomy under Roman hegemony following the conclusion of the Third Macedonian War, and its bronze coinage continued largely uninterrupted — a privilege not extended to many Aegean island mints. The attribution to Mavrogordato's corpus, assembled from his landmark 1916 study of Chian coinage, remains the standard reference for this series despite over a century of subsequent scholarship failing to substantially revise his die groupings.
