| Reverse description | Bare-headed male portrait bust facing right, rendered with naturalistic Hellenistic detail including curly hair and a prominent beard, likely representing a local deity or a male co-ruler associated with the Pontic royal house. The bust occupies the majority of the flan, with a cluster of pellets visible in the lower field serving as a control mark. The surrounding Greek legend ΠΡΟΥΣΙΕΩΝ ΤΩΝ ΠΡΟΣ ΘΑΛΑΣΣΗΙ encircles the design, identifying the issuing civic authority of Prusias ad Mare. |
