Reverse description Apollo Grynios depicted standing in three-quarter pose facing right, rendered as a full-length figure holding a laurel branch in one hand and a phiale (libation bowl) in the other, referencing his celebrated oracular sanctuary at Gryneion in Aeolis. At his feet lie an omphalos and an amphora, further alluding to his prophetic and sacred attributes. A monogram or control letter K appears in the left field. The entire reverse design is enclosed within a prominent laurel wreath border. The ethnic legend MYPINAIΩN, identifying the issuing city of Myrina, is inscribed within the wreath field.
