背面描述	Athena Nikephoros standing left, holding Nike in her extended right hand and a spear and shield in her left, with a grain ear or palm frond visible to the right of the figure. The Greek legend ΕΥΣΕΒΕΙΑΣ (meaning 'of Piety') appears partially around the figure in the field, referencing the epithet of the Cappadocian king. The flan is irregular and the surfaces are heavily worn and corroded, limiting full legibility.

附加信息	RPC I 3612 falls within the late Ariarathid and early Ariobarzanid period of Cappadocian kingship — a stretch of decades marked by relentless interference from both Rome and Pontus. Mithridates VI of Pontus effectively installed and removed Cappadocian kings at will during much of this window, at one point placing his own son on the throne under the name Ariarathes IX. Roman senatorial intervention eventually restored Ariobarzanes I, though his hold on the kingdom remained precarious throughout his reign. Small bronze issues like this one served local transactional needs in a kingdom whose silver coinage was closely tied to royal legitimacy and diplomatic signaling — making the attribution of unsigned bronzes to specific reigns genuinely difficult.
