| Reverse description | Eagle standing facing on a globe, head turned to the left, wings spread in a heraldic posture. The reverse type is a common civic device associated with Amastris and other Pontic cities, symbolizing imperial power and divine favor. The ethnic legend ΑΜΑϹΤΡΙΑΝΩΝ is distributed around the eagle in the field. The execution is typical of provincial bronze coinage of the Severan period, with strong if somewhat crude engraving. |
