| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing right with wings prominently spread, rendered in a bold and stylized manner consistent with Pontic-area coinage of the first century AD. The Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΦΑΡΖΟΙΟΥ encircles the design, identifying the issuer as King Pharzoios. To the right of the eagle, the abbreviated civic name ΟΛ appears above a ligature monogram, referencing the city of Olbia. The overall composition fills the flan and reflects the hybrid Greek-Scythian artistic vocabulary characteristic of this coinage. |
