Reverse description A dove in full flight to the right, its wings spread and tail feathers fanned, rendered with fine incised detail to suggest individual feathers. The Greek letter Σ (sigma) appears in the upper field above the tail, while I (iota) is placed in the lower field below the bird, together forming a secondary ethnic reference. The entire composition is enclosed within a finely engraved olive wreath that frames the circular field, a device emblematic of Sikyon and its Peloponnesian civic identity.
