Reverse description A bridled horse standing to the right with its left foreleg raised, rendered in a lively and confident style typical of Aiolic civic coinage. To the right of the horse appears the ethnic legend KYMAIΩN identifying the issuing city. Below the horse a vase (oinochoe) serves as a secondary symbol, and in the exergue the name ΔHMHTPIOΣ identifies the presiding magistrate. The entire composition is encircled by an olive wreath border, a hallmark of Kymaean tetradrachm issues of this period.
