| Reverse description | A battle-axe and a strung bow in its bowcase are depicted upright and centrally placed within the field, their shafts rendered in clean, linear relief. A monogram — appearing as the letter eta (Η) with a cross-stroke — is positioned to the left in the field, serving as a magistrate's or mint-control mark. The Greek ethnic legend OΛBIO is inscribed vertically to the right, identifying the issuing city of Olbia. The composition is bold and schematic, typical of the municipal bronze coinage of the northern Black Sea region during this period. |
