| Reverse description | Frontal bust of a turreted and draped deity, identified as Tyche or a related civic goddess, set within a large wreath of laurel or olive branches that frames the entire reverse field. The figure wears a mural crown surmounted by a crescent, with long, flowing drapery visible below the bust. To the left and right of the deity's torso appear the denomination numerals M (40) and H (8), together signifying the value of 48 Bosporan units. The composition reflects a well-established iconographic tradition in Bosporan coinage of the first and second centuries AD. |
