| Reverse description | Bare head of Agrippa (or Aspurgus) facing right, rendered in a bold, slightly archaizing Hellenistic style with short, tightly curled hair. To the left of the portrait, the Greek abbreviation ΒΑΡ (for Basileos, 'of the King') is inscribed in the field, and below it ΓΚΤ, the Greek numeral denoting regnal year 323 of the Pontic era (equivalent to 27 AD). The legend is disposed in two lines to the left of the bust, neatly filling the available field. The reverse type reflects the Bosporan royal coinage convention of combining a portrait with a dated Greek inscription. The coin exhibits the characteristically irregular flan and uneven strike typical of hammered gold staters from Pantikapaion. |
