| Reverse description | Forepart of a griffin facing left, with the right front paw raised in a striking pose, rendered in vigorous relief typical of Pantikapaion bronze coinage. The griffin's beak, pointed ear, and folded wing are clearly delineated, conveying a sense of dynamic movement. Beneath the griffin, a sturgeon is depicted facing left, a recurring symbol on Bosporan coinage reflecting the region's important fishing economy. The Greek legend ΠΑΝ is distributed in the fields around the griffin, serving as an abbreviated ethnic for Pantikapaion. The composition is well-centred within the flan. |
