| Reverse description | Dikaiosyne, the personification of Justice, seated left on a high-backed throne, her lower body draped. She extends her right hand forward holding a set of scales, symbolizing equitable judgment. The composition is rendered in a formal, hieratic style typical of provincial civic coinage. The legend ΑΜΙΣΟΥ ΕΤΟΥΣ Ξ, identifying the mint city of Amisus and the local civic year 60, is distributed around the field. A dotted border frames the reverse design. |
