| Reverse description | A sea eagle with dramatically spread wings perches upon a dolphin swimming to the left, the bird rendered with finely engraved feather detail across its extended wings and tail. The eagle grasps the dolphin firmly, a composition emblematic of Sinopean civic coinage. Above the eagle in the upper field appears the magistrate's name ΘΕΟΤΙ (Theoti), while the ethnic legend ΣΙΝΩ(ΠΗΣ), denoting the issuing city of Sinope, is inscribed in bold Greek letters along the lower field beneath the dolphin. |
