| Beschrijving voorzijde | A figure, most probably a hero or deity, depicted in a dynamic composition seated or riding atop a serpent or sea-creature, rendered in bold relief in the Hellenistic provincial style. The figure appears semi-draped, with one arm raised, conveying motion and energy. The field is plain and unlettered, with the truncated Greek inscription KEPKI partially visible at the periphery identifying the issuing city of Cercinitis. The execution is typical of the Crimean Greek workshop of the early Hellenistic period, with compact, vigorous modeling. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cercinitis was a small Greek colonial settlement on the western coast of Crimea, subordinate for much of its existence to the more powerful Chersonesus. Its independent bronze coinage is sparse and poorly documented — the city lacked the economic weight to sustain a robust mint, and surviving pieces are genuinely scarce in any condition. The Anokhin and HGC references place this issue within a period of growing Scythian pressure on Greek settlements throughout the northwestern Pontic region, a tension that would eventually end Cercinitis as a functioning polis.
