| Reverse description | A fully open rose with petals in profile occupies the centre of the design, accompanied by a single rose bud to the left and the Greek letter delta (Δ) placed between the bud and the main flower, serving as a magistrate's or control mark. An owl, the symbol of wisdom and a secondary type associated with Athenian monetary tradition, stands facing left in the right field. The ethnic inscription ΡΟΔΙΟΝ appears above in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Rhodes. The entire design is set within a square incuse punch, characteristic of the Chian-Rhodian weight standard coinage of this period. |
