| Reverse description | An eagle with wings spread, depicted in dynamic posture swooping upon and seizing a dolphin with its talons, the dolphin shown curving beneath the bird's body. The eagle's plumage is rendered with careful scalloped feathering across the body and boldly striated primary feathers on both wings. Below the group, the ethnic legend ΣΙΝΩ appears in archaic Greek characters across the lower field, identifying the issuing city of Sinope. |
