| Reverse description | Eagle standing facing right with wings spread wide, depicted in a bold, stylized manner typical of Pontic provincial coinage. To the right of the eagle, the letters OΛ appear above a monogram, serving as a mintmark referencing the city of Olbia. The Greek royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΦΑΡΖΟΙΟΥ encircles the field, identifying the issuer as King Pharzoios. The composition is dynamic, with the eagle's outstretched wings filling the flan, and the legend distributed around the periphery. The overall engraving style reflects the fusion of Hellenistic artistic conventions with Scythian royal numismatic tradition. |
