| Reverse description | Upright anchor depicted centrally, with a broad stock at the top and bifurcated flukes at the base, serving as the principal civic emblem of Apollonia Pontika. The Greek letter Alpha (Α) appears in the left field within the arc of the left fluke, functioning as an abbreviation for the city's name. A crayfish (astacus) is positioned in the right field within the arc of the right fluke, serving as a secondary identifying symbol. The design is boldly rendered with strong linear engraving characteristic of fifth-century BC Pontic coinage. |
