| Reverse description | Nude Harpocrates, the Hellenistic child deity of silence and secrecy, stands facing left in the reverse field. He wears a tall composite headdress, raises his right hand to his lips in the characteristic gesture of silence, and holds a cornucopia in his left arm, with a chlamys draped over the same arm. The ethnic legend of Amastris encircles the design, identifying the issuing city. The composition reflects the syncretic Greco-Egyptian religious traditions prevalent in Pontic civic coinage. |
