| Reverse description | A dove depicted in full flight to the left, its wings spread and fanned tail clearly delineated, rendered with fine feather detail in high relief. Above the tail, the Greek letters ΠΑ appear in the field, representing a magistrate's or mint official's abbreviated name. The entire type is enclosed within a circular laurel wreath, its olive branches curving gracefully around the central device to fill the flan. The wreath border is finely engraved with individual leaves and berries, demonstrating the accomplished craftsmanship of Sikyonian die-cutters. The field within the wreath is smooth and unencumbered, allowing the dove motif — a symbol long associated with Sikyon — to dominate the composition. |
