| Reverse description | A figure, likely an eagle or a cult symbol associated with Dionysiac iconography, occupies the central field, rendered in bold but somewhat crude relief characteristic of Pontic regional bronze issues. The partial Greek legend ΔIONY appears along the upper periphery of the coin, referencing the city-name Dionysopolis. The flan is irregular and the strike slightly off-center, consistent with hand-hammered municipal bronzes of the Hellenistic period. The field is otherwise plain, with no exergual line or additional devices visible. |
