| Reverse description | An eagle, wings spread and displayed, standing to the left over a dolphin, rendered in a dynamic and naturalistic style characteristic of Istrian civic coinage. The eagle grasps or subdues the dolphin beneath its talons, symbolizing the city's maritime identity along the Black Sea coast. Above in the upper field, the Greek legend ΙΣΤΡΙΗ is inscribed, with the letter T appearing below in the lower field as a secondary control mark. The design is contained within a broad, slightly irregular flan typical of hammered silver issues of this denomination. |
