| Reverse description | A sheathed sword (akinakes) depicted upright and centrally placed, with a curved scabbard and prominent hilt, flanked on either side by the divided civic legend of Sinope in Greek characters. The design is characteristic of Pontic municipal bronze issues struck under Mithridates VI, employing the sword as an emblem of military power. The legend ΣIN to the left and ΩΠHΣ to the right is clearly legible on well-preserved examples, though the flan edges are notably irregular. |
