Reverse description Bare head of a second figure, likely a Roman official or associated imperial personage, facing left in a style closely analogous to the obverse portrait. The effigy is rendered in a similar provincial Greek manner, with detailed hair treatment and a naturalistic profile. A multi-part Greek legend surrounds the portrait, reading ΚΑΙϹΑΡΙ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΩ ΚΡΗΤΩΝ Ε ΚΟΡ ΛΥ, attributing the issue to the Cretan people under the magistracy of Cornelius Lupus. The legend references both the imperial dedicatee and the local civic authority responsible for the emission. The flat field and irregular flan are consistent with hammered provincial silver coinage of the early Imperial period.
