| Reverse description | Silphium plant shown frontally at centre, its distinctive heart-shaped seed pod at the base and flowering stalks radiating outward, flanked on either side by a crouching figure — likely a silphium harvester or an attendant deity. The composition is enclosed within a shallow incuse square. The engraver's name ΑΡΙΣΤΟΜΗΔΕΟΣ (of Aristomedes) appears in the field around the design, attesting to the exceptional practice of signed dies at Kyrene. |
