| Obverse description | Head of a female divinity — most likely the nymph Sinope or Kore — facing left in fine Classical Greek style, her hair elaborately dressed in tightly rendered waves swept back and gathered into a large bun at the nape of the neck, adorned with an earring and a beaded necklace visible at the truncation. The portrait is rendered with considerable artistic refinement, combining naturalism with idealized proportions characteristic of late 4th-century BC Pontic coinage. The entire design is enclosed within a prominent dotted border. |
