Obverse description Stylized radiate motif occupying the central field, rendered in a highly abstracted barbaric manner characteristic of Gothic imitative coinage. The design features bold, fan-like radiating lines spreading from a central point, flanked by a cluster of pellets to the right, possibly representing a bunch of grapes or a schematic bust. The overall execution is crude and irregular, reflecting the provincial workshop tradition of the Taman Peninsula region. No legible legend is present, consistent with the barbarian imitative series of this period.
