| Reverse description | Eight elongated, leaf-shaped or torpedo-shaped objects radiating symmetrically from a central raised pellet within a beaded circle, evoking a stylised eight-petalled rosette or pinwheel pattern. Each lobe is rendered with a concave interior, creating a bold, decorative motif that fills the entire flan. Letters of the ethnic KOPKYPAI are distributed between the radiating lobes around the periphery of the design. The overall composition is geometric and highly stylised, consistent with the engraving conventions of Korkyraean hemidrachms of this period. |
