背面描述	A fully opened rose bloom depicted facing, with a rosebud on each side, serving as the principal civic emblem of Nisyros and a visual pun common to Rhodian-influenced island coinage. The ethnic abbreviation of the city is split by the central rose motif, with one letter placed to each side. The design is set within an incuse square typical of early Greek hammered coinage, with the floral elements rendered in a stylized yet detailed manner.

附加信息	Nisyros, a small volcanic island in the Dodecanese, struck its own silver coinage despite a population and territory that could scarcely have justified a mint by any economic logic. The island's issues are rare enough that even attributing individual specimens with confidence requires comparison against a handful of reference examples. This hemidrachm falls within the period when Rhodian commercial dominance was beginning to consolidate control over Aegean trade, a pressure that would eventually extinguish most small island mints in the region entirely.
