Reverse description A kerykeion (caduceus) depicted centrally in the field, with two entwined serpents rising from the staff and their heads arching outward at the top, rendered in sturdy relief. To the left of the kerykeion, the ethnic inscription ΦΕΝΙ is distributed vertically in the field. To the right, a branch — likely laurel or olive — extends diagonally, adding a subsidiary decorative element. The composition is typical of the civic coinage of Pheneos, associating the city's patron deity Hermes with his iconic attribute.
