背面描述	A bull charging and butting to the left is depicted above a horizontal club, the whole composition serving as the civic badge of Chersonesos. Above the bull, the magistrate's name ΔΙΑΓΟΡΑ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing authority. Below, a horizontally oriented bowcase or gorytus is rendered in relief within the exergue, a device closely associated with the Artemis cult of Chersonesos. The bold, compact style of the reverse type is consistent with municipal bronze issues of the early Hellenistic period.

附加信息	Chersonesos — the Greek colony on the southwestern tip of Crimea — operated with unusual civic independence for a Black Sea settlement, maintaining its own bronze coinage through the fourth and third centuries even as larger powers contested the region. This issue falls in the decade following Alexander's death, when the successor wars were redrawing every political boundary in the eastern Mediterranean but leaving this particular corner of the Pontic steppe largely to manage its own affairs. The Anokhin sequence for this type is well-documented against excavation finds from the Chersonesos site itself, giving it stronger provenance context than most provincial bronzes of comparable date.
