| Reverse description | A nude archer depicted in a dynamic crouching pose to the left, kneeling on one knee with his body twisted as he draws his bow at full extension, his quiver visible at his back. The figure is rendered with vigorous energy, conveying the martial and nomadic character associated with Scythian imagery. The Greek legend ΟΛΒΙΟ appears in the lower field below the figure, while ΣΩΣΤΡΑ is inscribed vertically to the right, referencing a civic magistrate's name. The composition fills the flan effectively, consistent with the artistic conventions of Olbian bronze coinage of the mid-fourth century BC. |
