Reverse description An open olive wreath, tied at the base, encircles the central field. Within the wreath, the Greek letter Theta (Θ) appears as a control mark, rendered as a circle with a central pellet or dot. The wreath branches are depicted with individual leaves in careful relief, curving symmetrically to either side. The overall composition is typical of Sikyonian civic bronze issues of the late Classical period, with the wreath serving as a standard reverse type and the letter functioning as a mint control symbol.
