| Beschrijving keerzijde | A rose in full bloom, the heraldic emblem of Rhodes, occupies the central field with a rose bud on a curving stem to the left. The inscription ΡΟΔΙΟΝ arcs above the rose in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city-state. In the right field, the letter Φ appears below a torch, serving as a magistrate's control mark. The entire design is contained within a square incuse, a hallmark of early Rhodian tetradrachm coinage transitioning from Chian weight standards. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rhodes struck these tetradrachms in the immediate aftermath of the island's political synoikism of 408/407 BC, when the three major cities of Ialysos, Kamiros, and Lindos were unified and a new federal capital — the city of Rhodes — was founded at the island's northern tip. The coinage formalized the new polis's independent monetary identity almost at once.
The weight standard places this firmly in the Chian-Rhodian tradition, distinct from the Attic standard dominating much of the Aegean at the time.
