| Reverse description | A sea-eagle with wings fully spread stands upon a dolphin oriented to the left, rendered with bold, detailed feathering typical of Sinopean civic coinage. The magistrate's name ΑΡΙΣΤΟΒΟ appears in the upper field to the right of the eagle, while the civic ethnic ΣΙΝΩ is inscribed in the lower exergual field beneath the dolphin. The composition fills the flan with confident, deeply struck relief characteristic of the Sinopean mint's output during this period. |
