Reverse description Two dolphins depicted back to back, each swimming upward with tails meeting at the base and heads facing outward, set symmetrically within a square incuse punch. The incuse border is dotted on at least one side, as visible on the flan, consistent with the early archaic punching technique employed at Delphi. No legend is present; the design is purely emblematic, the dolphin being a sacred symbol associated with Apollo and the Delphic sanctuary.
