| Reverse description | Upright anchor with prominent flukes and a straight shank, serving as the principal civic emblem of Apollonia Pontica and referencing the city's maritime identity on the Black Sea. The Greek letter Alpha (A) appears to the left of the shank as an abbreviation of the city's ethnic. A crayfish (astacus) is depicted to the right of the anchor, an additional civic symbol closely associated with Apollonian coinage of this period. The design is boldly struck within the irregular flan, with all three reverse elements clearly legible despite the small module. |
