Reverse description A nude boy, rendered in fine relief, reclines astride a dolphin swimming to the right, grasping the creature with both arms and legs in a lively, naturalistic composition emblematic of the civic type of Iasos. The city monogram ΙΑ appears in the upper left field. In the exergue, the magistrate's name ΜΕΝΟΙΤΙΟΣ is inscribed in clear Greek characters, identifying this issue with the eponymous monetary official Menoitios.
