| Reverse description | A griffin recumbent to the left, the city's emblematic device, rendered with spread wings and feline haunches in the Hellenistic naturalistic style. The magistrate's name appears in the legend above, reading ΕΠΙ ΔΙΟΝΥΣΑ, indicating the eponymous official responsible for the issue. A monogram occupies the lower left field, serving as a secondary control mark. The composition is compact and well-balanced within the small flan. |
