| Reverse description | A warship galley prow oriented to the right occupies the central field, depicted in fine detail with the ram, catheads, oar-ports, and the characteristic curved aphlaston (stern ornament) rising prominently above. The prow rests on a stylised wave pattern rendered along the lower hull, conveying the maritime heritage of Chalkis as a major Euboian naval city. The ethnic ΧΑΛΚΙ is inscribed above the prow in Greek letters, while the magistrate's name ΣΩΣΙΠΑ appears below, both legends flanking the central device in the field. |
