| Reverse description | A caduceus depicted upright at the centre of the field, featuring two intertwined serpents rising along the staff and spreading wings at the top, characteristic of Hellenistic civic bronzes. The device is enclosed within a dotted border. The Greek legend ΑΓΑΛΟΣ to the left and ΚΩΙΩΝ to the right flanks the central type, identifying the magistrate Agalos and the civic authority of the Koans. The design is boldly struck and typical of the island mint of Kos during the early second century BC. |
