| Reverse description | A stag standing to the right in profile, rendered with alert posture and prominent antlers, depicted on a plain ground line. To the right of the stag, the civic abbreviation XEP is arranged vertically in the field, identifying the issuing city of Chersonesos. Below the ground line, the magistrate's name AΠOΛΛΩNIΔA is inscribed in a horizontal legend across the lower field. The composition is characteristic of Chersonesian civic drachms of the late Hellenistic period, where the stag serves as the emblem of Artemis, the city's tutelary deity. |
