| Reversbeschreibung | Caduceus depicted upright in the center of the field, with two intertwined serpents rising to a winged top, rendered in a schematic hammered style. To the left of the caduceus appears the Greek letter Β (beta), serving as a mark of value denoting 2 units. The device is contained within a plain circular border. The field is otherwise bare, with no additional legend or inscription. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Aspurgus ruled the Bosporan Kingdom as a client of Rome, having secured his position partly through direct appeal to Augustus — a political calculation that kept the kingdom nominally independent while firmly within the Roman orbit. His coinage reflects this balancing act: a local bronze issue serving a Greek-speaking trading population on the northern Black Sea littoral, where Bosporan merchants regularly handled both Roman and Parthian goods. The 2-unit denomination circulated alongside larger issues in a system that had been largely stable since the Spartocid dynasty.
Anokhin 1381 and MacDonald 272 align closely on attribution, though Bosporos 291 reflects minor typological distinctions some specialists consider die-linked to transitional issues of the late Augustan period.
