| Reverse description | A rose rendered in profile occupies the center of the design, with a budding secondary stem rising to the left — the civic emblem of Rhodes and a punning symbol on the island's name. The magistrate's name ΔIOΓNHTOΣ is inscribed above, while the ethnic abbreviation P-O (for POΔION) flanks the rose stalk on either side. A cornucopia appears in the lower right field. The entire composition is set within a shallow incuse square, a characteristic feature of Rhodian gold coinage of this period. |
