| Reverse description | Zeus Strategos depicted standing facing, his body rendered frontally in a commanding, hieratic pose characteristic of provincial civic coinage. The deity holds a long vertical sceptre in his right hand while his left arm rests akimbo at his hip, conveying divine authority. At his feet, a naval prow is depicted, referencing the maritime importance of Amastris as a Black Sea port city. The reverse legend arcs around the figure in Greek characters, identifying the type and the issuing city. |
