| Reverse description | A sea eagle, wings spread and head turned to the right, stands upon a dolphin oriented to the left. The composition is a hallmark device of Olbian coinage, evoking the maritime and divine symbolism of the city. The ethnic inscription ΟΛBIO appears in the lower field or exergue beneath the dolphin, rendered in Greek capitals. The style reflects the vigorous, naturalistic engraving associated with Olbian silver issues of the early Hellenistic period. |
