| Reverse description | Standing male figure, likely Hermes or a local deity, depicted facing front in the field, holding attributes in each hand; a caduceus or torch is discernible to one side. The ethnic legend ΣHΣ (abbreviation for Sestos) appears to the left of the figure. The reverse composition is typical of civic bronze coinage from the Thracian Chersonese, with the deity serving as a civic emblem of the issuing city. |
