| Reverse description | A sea-eagle displayed to the left, wings spread and talons firmly grasping a dolphin, which is depicted curving beneath the bird's body. In the lower field below the eagle and dolphin group appears the magistrate's monogram or abbreviation ΦΥ, serving as a control mark. The design is rendered in high relief with bold, confident engraving characteristic of Istrian coinage of the 4th–3rd centuries BC. The city ethnic ΙΣΤΡΗ appears in the upper field. |
