| Reverse description | A fully open rose with petals displayed and a bud to the right, the emblematic device of Rhodes, set within a shallow square incuse (plinthophoron). The magistrate's name ΞΕΝΟΦΑΝΤΟΣ is inscribed above, with the ethnic abbreviation P-O flanking the rose across the field. A ram's head set upon a caduceus appears as a secondary symbol to the lower left of the rose, serving as an additional magistrate control mark. The entire composition is contained within the characteristic shallow square incuse border that defines the plintophoric series. |
