| 裏面の説明 | A palm branch oriented vertically dominates the central field, its fronds spreading symmetrically to either side in a stylised, almost floral arrangement. A taenia (fillet or ribbon) is depicted tied around or associated with the palm, a conventional symbol of victory and honour in Hellenistic numismatic iconography. A star or comet appears in the field alongside the palm, echoing the celestial motif of the obverse and reinforcing the probable dynastic or civic symbolism of the issue. The reverse is uninscribed, with no legend, exergue line, or mint mark visible. The style is consistent with the small anonymous bronze issues attributed to uncertain cities of the Pontic region, circa 130–100 BC. |

The attribution to an uncertain Pontic mint reflects genuine scholarly disagreement rather than incomplete cataloging. The Black Sea coastal cities of this period — Amisos, Sinope, Trapezus among them — operated with considerable monetary independence under Mithridates V before his son consolidated regional control in the 110s BC. Small bronzes of this size circulated as fractional currency across a trading zone where Greek, indigenous Anatolian, and increasingly Roman commercial interests overlapped.
HGC 7, 317 groups several closely related types under this uncertain attribution pending die-link studies that might anchor production to a specific city.
