| Reverse description | A composite symbol, identifiable as a bow-in-bowcase (gorytus) set horizontally above a spear or lance, arranged diagonally across the field — a design closely associated with Skythian royal iconography. The Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛ ΣΑΡΙΑΚ, an abbreviation of ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΣΑΡΙΑΚΟΥ (King Sariakes), is disposed in two lines in the lower field. The flan edges are irregular, typical of hammered provincial bronzes of the Hellenistic period. |
