| Reverse description | A fully open rose blossom depicted in plan view, with three prominent rounded petals and three sepals radiating from a central globular calyx, all rendered in bold high relief within a shallow incuse square. To the lower left, a forepart of a lion's head faces right, serving as a punning symbol on the name Rhodes (Rhodos, the rose island). A small dolphin or similar marine creature appears to the lower right as an additional subsidiary symbol. The ethnic legend POΔION arcs across the upper field in archaic Greek characters, identifying the issuing city. |
