| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of King Rheskouporis V facing right, with a trident positioned before the effigy in the left field. The Greek legend ΒΑCΙΛΕΩC ΡΗCΚΟΥΠΟΡΙC encircles the bust, identifying the Bosporan ruler by his royal title and name. The portrait displays the characteristic late Bosporan style, with bold, somewhat schematic rendering typical of the reign's coinage. The diadem is clearly rendered as a symbol of royal authority, and the drapery falls across the shoulder in conventional fashion. |
