| Reverse description | Stylized silphium plant depicted full-length in the center of the field, with a broad rounded seed-head at the apex, two pairs of outstretched lateral branches bearing small leaf-like offshoots, and a bulbous root base resting on a raised ground line — an iconic emblem of Cyrene's renowned and economically vital export. The Greek city-ethnic abbreviation KYPA is divided across the field, with KY to the left and PA to the right of the plant's central stalk, rendered in clear Greek characters. |
