| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of King Sauromates II facing right, rendered in a provincial Hellenistic style with visible hair strands and a short beard. The effigy occupies the central field, with the royal diadem clearly indicated at the brow. A circular Greek legend runs along the coin's periphery within a beaded border, naming the king in the genitive case. The portrait exhibits the characteristic workmanship of Bosporan coinage, combining Greek artistic conventions with local regal imagery. |
