| Reverse description | A swan stands in profile to the right with wings dramatically spread and raised, a civic emblem closely associated with Klazomenai. The bird is naturalistically rendered, with detailed feathering visible across the wings and body, and its feet planted firmly on the ground line. The magistrate's name ΙΚΕΣΙΟΣ (Hikesios) appears as a legend in the upper field above the swan, while the abbreviated ethnic ΚΛΑ is inscribed to the right, identifying the issuing city. The composition fills the flan effectively, consistent with the compact fabric typical of this series. |
