| Reverse description | Incuse square field containing three Greek letters — Theta (Θ), Rho (P, retrograde due to a die-cutting error), and Omicron (Ο) — arranged as an abbreviation of the city name Thronion. A dolphin or similar elongated motif occupies the central area of the incuse, flanked by the letters. The incuse square is characteristic of early Greek coinage technique, with the design sunk into the flan. The retrograde Rho is a recognized die-engraver's error documented in the numismatic literature for this issue. |
