| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stemmed rose with open bloom and a single budding lateral branch to the left, all depicted in fine naturalistic relief and enclosed within a square incuse punch. The ethnic legend ΡΟΔΙΟΝ is inscribed above the rose, identifying the issuing city of Rhodes. The letter Α appears as a secondary control mark between the bud and the main bloom. A crab is placed as an additional control symbol in the right field of the incuse square, a device commonly associated with Rhodian magistrate or mint-master identification on issues of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rhodes struck these tetradrachms in the decades following the synoikism of 408 BC, when the three older city-states of Ialysos, Kameiros, and Lindos merged to found the new capital city at the island's northern tip. The resulting unified mint quickly became one of the most prolific in the Aegean, partly because Rhodian commercial shipping made silver coinage a practical necessity at every major eastern Mediterranean port.
The Ashton corpus, the standard reference for Rhodian coinage, leaves this specific variety unnumbered — suggesting either a specimen identified after the catalog's completion or an attribution still under discussion among specialists.
