| Reverse description | Bare head of the deified Augustus facing left, rendered in a provincial Greek style consistent with the obverse. The portrait displays the characteristic idealized features of Augustan iconography as adapted in Thracian civic coinage. A Greek legend surrounds the effigy reading ΘΕΩ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΩ ΑΒΔΗΡΕΙΤΩΝ, identifying the subject as the divine Augustus and attributing the issue to the citizens of Abdera. The treatment of the hair and facial features reflects a local engraver working within the broader Hellenistic numismatic tradition. |
