| Reverse description | The Parthenos, the divine maiden patroness of Chersonesus, advances left in dynamic posture, holding a bow in her outstretched hand and thrusting a spear downward toward a stag kneeling left before her. The scene reflects the goddess's role as divine huntress and city protectress, a type characteristic of Chersonesean civic coinage. The ethnic legend ΧΕΡϹο appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. The composition is vigorous and well-articulated despite the worn state of the flan. |
