| Beschrijving keerzijde | A faithful reinterpretation of the celebrated ancient Greek gold stater of Pantikapaion (Cimmerian Bosporos, circa 350-340 BC). The central device depicts the head of a satyr facing left, rendered with characteristic archaic naturalism: he wears an ivy wreath, displays a pointed beard, a goat's ear, and a pug nose. Below the primary device, the legend arcs in two lines identifying the series and denomination. The composition faithfully evokes the artistry of the Pantikapaion mint, regarded as one of the most accomplished die-cutting schools of the ancient Greek world. |

This piece belongs to a series issued by the Solomon Islands that reproduces ancient Greek coin types in fine gold, a format that has become a minor cottage industry among Pacific-jurisdiction mints seeking collector revenue. The Satyr stater replicates the coinage of Pantikapaion, the Greek colony on the Crimean Bosphorus whose electrum and gold staters from the 4th century BC are among the most admired of all ancient types. Pantikapaion's wealth derived from controlling Black Sea grain routes — the city functioned essentially as a toll booth between the Greek world and Scythian agricultural output.
