| Reverse description | A round Macedonian-style shield depicted in profile, resting upon an upright spear whose shaft bisects the field vertically, evoking martial iconography common to Pontic Greek civic coinage. The ethnic inscription ΟΛΒΙΟ appears in the upper field and ΠΟΛΙ in the lower field, together forming the civic name ΟΛΒΙΟΠΟΛΙ (Olbiopolis), identifying the issuing city-state. A monogram appears to the left of the central device in the field. The composition is bold and symmetrical, consistent with the conventions of late Hellenistic civic bronze and silver coinage of the northern Black Sea region. |
