| Obverse description | Draped bust of a Nymph facing left, her hair confined in a sakkos, adorned with a triple-pendant earring and necklace. An aplustre (ship's stern ornament) appears before the face, and the Aramaic letters MO are visible in the field behind the head. The portrait is rendered in the refined Greek style characteristic of late 4th-century BC coinage from the Pontic region. |
