| Reverse description | Youthful nude Heracles striding vigorously to the right, right arm raised and brandishing a club overhead, confronting a rearing horse — one of the man-eating Mares of Diomedes — which leaps to the right. A six-pointed star appears in the field between the legs of Heracles, serving as a mint or value symbol. The scene is rendered in the active Hellenistic mythological style characteristic of Bosporan civic coinage, within a beaded border. |
