| Reverse description | Demeter, goddess of the harvest, rendered as a standing draped figure facing left in a hieratic pose characteristic of Pontic civic bronze coinage. She holds a bundle of ears of corn in her right hand and a long sceptre in her left, symbolizing agricultural fertility and divine authority. The circular Greek legend surrounding the field identifies the issuing city and provides the regnal year in the Pontic era, with a beaded border framing the entire composition. |
