| Beschrijving keerzijde | A fully open rose blossom depicted facing, with broad rounded petals and a prominent central bud, flanked by two curving leaves or sepals issuing from the stem below. To the upper left, a five-pointed star serves as a secondary control symbol. The magistrate's name ΔΑΜΟΚΡΙΝΗΣ is inscribed in Greek letters along the upper periphery, while the ethnic ΡΟΔ (for ΡΟΔΙΩΝ, Rhodes) appears in the lower field. The design is rendered in crisp relief characteristic of the plinthophoric series of Rhodian silver coinage. |

The magistrate name Damokrines places this drachm within a well-documented sequence of Rhodian issues catalogued by Ashton, produced during a period when Rhodes was navigating exceptionally delicate diplomacy — simultaneously maintaining commercial ties with Macedon while cultivating the Roman alliance that would prove decisive at the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC. Rhodian silver of this period circulated widely across the eastern Mediterranean, underpinned by the island's dominance in Aegean trade and its jealously maintained coinage standards.
