| Reverse description | Lion's head facing full front, rendered with bold, deeply cut relief, the mane radiating outward in stylised waves filling the field to the coin's edge. The eyes are large and prominent, flanked by prominent brow ridges, and the open mouth reveals the teeth in a characteristic Panticapaean type. The Greek inscription ΠΑΝ appears in the lower field below the lion's chin, serving as an abbreviation for ΠΑΝΤΙΚΑΠΑΙΟΝ, the mint city. The composition is powerful and symmetrical, consistent with the long-running civic coinage tradition of Panticapaeum. |
