| Reverse description | The celebrated silphium plant, the iconic emblem of Kyrene, depicted frontally in bold relief at the centre of the field. The stalk rises from a broad base to a rounded, multi-lobed seed head, with lateral branches bearing smaller seed pods radiating outward at intervals along the shaft. The ethnic legend KYPA is disposed in the field, split to either side of the plant in Greek characters. The composition reflects the pre-eminence of silphium as a symbol of Kyrenaean civic and commercial identity. |
