| Reverse description | A multi-tiered lighthouse rendered in schematic architectural style occupies the central field, depicted with four receding stages and an arched entrance at its base. The uppermost tier is surmounted by a fire beacon, represented by stylised flames or radiating strokes. The structure is a recognisable representation of the famous lighthouse at Heraclea Pontica, a type well attested on civic bronze coinage of this mint. The abbreviated ethnic legend ΗΡΑΚΛΕΩΤ appears in the left field, partially preserved, within a beaded border. |
