| Reverse description | A silphium plant, the prized and emblematic export of Kyrene, depicted upright with a central stalk bearing three pairs of opposing leaves and five terminal umbels. In the left field, a crab serves as a subsidiary control symbol; in the right field, the monogram or letters KE appear as an additional control mark. The composition is rendered in a bold, schematic style typical of Kyrenaican civic coinage of the early Hellenistic period. |
