| Reverse description | Large Greek numeral MH (denoting 48, the denomination in Bosporan units) displayed prominently in the central field, enclosed within a laurel or olive wreath tied at the bottom. A small royal monogram or control mark appears at the top of the wreath. The composition is typical of later Bosporan bronze coinage, with the wreath rendered in a stylized, provincial manner. |
