| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of King Hermaios facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition with a beaded diadem visible above the brow and garment folds indicated at the shoulder. The effigy displays a slightly barbarized style consistent with Scythian imitative coinage, with the facial features rendered in relatively high relief. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust in the field, reading BAΣIΛEΩΣ ΣΩTHPOΣ EPMAIOY. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, as characteristic of hammered coinage of this series. |
