| Obverse description | Artemis Parthenos depicted as a charioteer, driving a fast-moving quadriga to the right. The goddess is shown in dynamic pose, grasping the reins in one hand while holding a torch aloft in the other, rendered in the vigorous archaic-influenced style typical of Chersonesean civic coinage of the late 4th century BC. |
