| Obverse description | Diademed bust of King Hermaios facing right, rendered in a somewhat crude barbarian style characteristic of Scythian imitative coinage. The effigy displays a draped shoulder and simplified facial features. A Greek legend encircles the bust in the field, identifying the ruler. |
