| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Strategos depicted standing facing, his head turned to the left, rendered in the hieratic civic style of Pontic provincial coinage. The deity holds a long sceptre in his left hand as an attribute of divine authority, while an eagle — the sacred bird of Zeus — stands at his feet to the right. The encircling legend ΖΕΥΣ ΣΤΡΑΤΗΓΟ ΑΜΑΣΤΡΙΑΝΩΝ identifies the deity as Zeus Strategos, patron of the Amastrian civic community, reflecting the city's distinctive religious iconography. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amastris, a port city on the Black Sea coast of Pontus, retained the right to strike civic bronze under the Flavians — a privilege tied to its long history as a Greek foundation traditionally attributed to Amastris, niece of Darius III of Persia. The epithet ΣΤΡΑΤΗΓΟ in the reverse legend reflects the city's use of the strategus as its chief magistrate, a Hellenistic administrative holdover that persisted well into the imperial period.
The Zeus Strategos cult was specific to this mint and appears across multiple Amastrian issues spanning several reigns.
