| Reverse description | A tripod stands in the central field, its legs clearly delineated, with a serpent entwined around the structure, its head raised upward in a striking pose — a motif closely associated with Apollo and oracular tradition. The encircling ethnic legend ΑΜΑϹΤΡΙΑΝΩΝ identifies the issuing civic authority of Amastris. The type reflects the city's strong religious and cultural ties to Apolline iconography. |
