| Reverse description | A gazelle stands in profile to the left, its head raised with alert posture, rendered in a lively archaic style with careful attention to anatomical detail including the slender legs and defined musculature. To the left of the animal, a silphium plant with a globular fruit is depicted in the field, referencing Kyrene's celebrated botanical emblem. A silphium fruit appears in the upper right field above the animal's back. Two kappa (K) letters, abbreviating the ethnic KYRANA, appear in the field — one to the left before the plant and one to the right beneath the gazelle's hindquarters — serving as the city's mint signature. |
