| Reverse description | Bowhead of a sturgeon facing left within the central field, accompanied by the partial ethnic inscription ΠΑΝ arranged around the design, referencing the city of Pantikapaion. The lettering is rendered in ancient Greek characters in a compact arrangement. The reverse is struck on an irregularly shaped flan with typical die wear and surface patination consistent with prolonged circulation. The sturgeon, a fish native to the Black Sea region, served as an important civic symbol reflecting the city's maritime and economic identity. |
