| Obverse description | Bare head of a Roman emperor — likely Augustus or Tiberius — facing right, rendered in a naturalistic Hellenistic-influenced style with short, wavy hair swept forward over the brow. The portrait is executed in high relief against a plain field, with no surrounding legend or border inscription. The effigy displays fine detail in the facial features and hair treatment characteristic of early Bosporan royal coinage imitating Roman imperial portraiture. |
