| Reverse description | Diademed head of King Aspurgus facing right, similar in style to the obverse portrait, with short curly hair and a plain diadem. To the left of the bust appears a monogram composed of Greek letters, with the royal title abbreviation ΒΑΡ (Basileos — King) above and ΒΛΤ below, incorporating the regnal year 332 of the Bosporan Era (equivalent to 36 AD). The legends are arranged in the left field flanking the portrait. The reverse design is typical of Bosporan staters of this period, combining a royal portrait with abbreviated titulature and dating. |
