| Reverse description | Head of a ram facing right, rendered in high relief within a shallow incuse square. The fleece is indicated by stylized curls, and the horn curves prominently above the skull. A partial retrograde or abbreviated Greek civic legend ΠITANA appears along the lower margin of the incuse square, identifying the issuing city of Pitane in Aeolis. The incuse square technique is characteristic of early Greek coinage practice for small silver denominations. |
