| Obverse description | Laureate head of the personification Chersonas facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic provincial style. A palm branch appears in the left field and a lyre in the right field, flanking the portrait as civic symbols. The Greek legend ΕΙΡΗΝΗϹ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗϹ ('of Augusta Peace') encircles the effigy, serving as a honorific reference to the Flavian imperial context. The die work is characteristic of the local Chersonesean mint, with a moderately detailed relief. |
