| Reverse description | The reverse bears a large, boldly rendered Cherson civic monogram (Monogram 1) occupying the central field, composed of interlaced Greek letters forming the abbreviated name of the city of Cherson. The monogram is executed in the characteristic style of Byzantine provincial coinage, with crossbar elements and looped terminals clearly visible. The design is set within a plain border on an unadorned, flat field, with no exergual inscription or additional devices. This type is specific to the Chersonian mint and distinguishes it from contemporary Constantinople issues. |
