| Reverse description | Head of a ram facing left, rendered in fine relief with a distinctly textured fleece indicated by granular incised patterning along the neck and forehead. A sturgeon, the emblematic fish of the Pontic region and a principal economic commodity of Panticapaeum, is depicted in the lower left field below the ram's head, oriented horizontally to the left. The partial inscription ПАNTI appears in Greek letters along the upper left field, serving as an abbreviated ethnic for Panticapaeum. The reverse type reflects the city's dual reliance on animal husbandry and Black Sea fisheries as foundations of its prosperity. |
