| Reverse description | Heracles depicted standing facing, his head turned slightly, nude but for the Nemean lion skin draped over his left arm and hand, while his right hand rests upon a grounded club. The heroic figure is rendered in the classical tradition typical of Pontic civic bronze coinage, set within a dotted border. The Greek civic legend appears in the field, proclaiming the free status of the city of Amisus. |
