| Obverse description | Facing gorgoneion rendered in archaic style, occupying the entire field of the flan. The visage displays large almond-shaped eyes, a broad flat nose, and closed lips, framed by coiling serpentine locks radiating symmetrically around the face. The treatment is typical of the apotropaic Gorgon mask employed as a civic emblem by Apollonia Pontika throughout the classical period. |
