| Reverse description | Forepart of a roaring lion facing right, depicted with open jaws and detailed mane, rendered in the vigorous Hellenistic style typical of Knidian civic coinage. A grain ear is placed in the field behind the lion, symbolizing agricultural prosperity. The ethnic abbreviation ΚΝΙ appears in the upper field, while the magistrate's name ΣΩΣΤΡΑΤΟΣ is inscribed in the exergue or lower field below the lion. The design is set within a plain border. |
