| Reverse description | The kerykeion-like staff of Asklepios, entwined by a serpent, depicted prominently in the center of the field. The Greek legend MENIKAP (an abbreviation referencing the magistrate's name) is distributed around the device in two parts, reading ME to the right and NIKAP to the left, consistent with Messenian civic bronze issues of the late Hellenistic period. |
