| Reverse description | A fully open rose of Rhodes with petals shown in high relief occupies the center of a recessed incuse square, the defining feature of the Rhodian plintophoric coinage. A rose bud on a short stem appears to the lower right of the main bloom. The magistrate's name ΦΙΛΩΝ is inscribed above the rose, while the ethnic abbreviation ΡΟ flanks the bloom within the incuse square, identifying the issuing city. The square border and the bold floral type are hallmarks of this late Hellenistic Rhodian emission. |
