| Reverse description | The reverse carries a two-line Greek inscription arranged within the field, giving the imperial title and the regnal year in the Alexandrian dating system. The legend reads ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΥ (of Augustus) accompanied by the date formula L ΛΗ (year 38), corresponding to the 38th year of Augustus's reign as reckoned from 27 BC, equating to 8–9 AD. The layout is typical of Alexandrian bronze obols and dichalka of this period, where the date serves as the principal reverse type. The surfaces are heavily corroded with green and red patination, rendering fine details indistinct. |
