| Reverse description | Diademed head of the reigning Roman emperor (Valerian or Gallienus) facing right, depicted in a schematic provincial style. The Pontic regnal era date NΦ (550, corresponding to 254 AD) appears in the lower field below the portrait. A star or two pellets appears to the right of the head, serving as a mint or emission control mark. The reverse design reflects the standard Bosporan stater type of this period, associating the local king with the Roman imperial authority. |
