| Reverse description | A warship's prow facing left, depicted in profile with the characteristic ram (embolon) projecting at the waterline and the upper deck timbers (catwalk) clearly delineated above. The oar-ports along the hull and the forward aplustre are rendered with competent schematic detail, evoking the naval power of Panticapaeum. Below and around the prow, a two-line Greek inscription occupies the lower field, serving as the civic legend of the issuing city. |
