| Reverse description | A bold olive or laurel wreath occupies the full field of the reverse, its branches curving symmetrically from a tied base at the bottom to a berry or pellet finial at the apex. Within the open centre of the wreath, the Greek numeral MH is prominently struck in large, well-formed letters, denoting the denomination of 48 units. The wreath is rendered with pronounced, stylized leaves and berries typical of Bosporan bronze coinage. The design is simple yet bold, with the value monogram forming the sole inscription on this side. |
