| Reverse description | A kerykeion (caduceus) rendered in high relief, depicted vertically at center, its staff surmounted by two intertwined serpents whose heads terminate as dragon-head finials, bound at the center by a prominent Herakles knot. The device is set within a plain field bordered by a dotted or beaded outer rim. Below the kerykeion, the Greek legend ΣΩΦΥΤΟΥ is inscribed in clear archaic-style Greek lettering, reading left to right across the lower field, identifying the issuing authority. |
