Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in a somewhat provincial Hellenistic style with long, wavy hair falling behind the neck. The facial features are boldly struck, with a prominent brow and well-defined profile. A laurel wreath encircles the head, its leaves discernible above the forehead. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the periphery, consistent with hand-struck production of this period and region.

Beschrijving keerzijde A Scythian gorytus (combined quiver and bow case) depicted upright in the central field, flanked by the abbreviated Greek royal legend divided on either side. The bow and quiver are rendered in a schematic but recognizable manner, symbols closely associated with Scythian royal iconography and authority. The legend ΒΑΣΙ to the left and ΣAPI to the right identify the issuer as King Sariakes. The overall composition is compact, filling the available flan, with the lettering somewhat crudely engraved in keeping with the provincial mint style.

Aanvullende informatie

Sariakes is among the most obscure rulers in the Skythian dynastic sequence, and the precise boundaries of his reign remain contested — the 180–167 BC window is a scholarly reconstruction based largely on die linkage and stratigraphic finds from Olbia rather than any surviving textual record. His bronze issues represent virtually the only material evidence that he ruled at all.
