| Reverse description | A centaur strides to the right in profile, depicted in a schematic style typical of Olbian civic bronzes, with the human torso erect and the equine body rendered simply but energetically. The centaur draws a bow, arms raised with the bow held horizontally, suggesting an archer pose. The Greek legend OΛBIO appears to the right of the figure and ΘEY to the lower left, forming the ethnic inscription identifying the issuing city of Olbia. The overall composition is bold and fills the flan, consistent with the local die-cutting tradition of the northern Black Sea region. |
