| Reverse description | Reverse bearing a large monogram or cipher in the central field, executed in the crude, provincial style typical of Cherson mint issues of the Macedonian dynasty. The device, possibly a patriarchal cross or imperial monogram, is set within a plain circular border on an irregular flan. The design is heavily worn and weakly struck, consistent with the utilitarian character of this local bronze coinage. No surrounding legend is present, and the field is otherwise plain. |
