| Reverse description | A grapevine with spreading branches and pendant bunches of grapes, the emblematic symbol of the wine-producing city of Maroneia, depicted within a linear square border. The entire composition is set within a deep incuse square, a hallmark of early Thracian silver coinage. Partial letters of the magistrate's name ΠΟΣΙΔΕΟΣ appear along the lower edge of the inner square. The incuse square itself shows the characteristic rough punch marks of the hammered technique, with additional symbols visible at the corners of the border. |
