| Beschrijving keerzijde | A rose rendered in full bloom occupies the central field, depicted from a three-quarter frontal perspective with clearly articulated petals and calyx leaves at the base, a civic emblem with Rhodian associations reflecting the cultural influences on Phanagoreian coinage. The Greek ethnic legend ΦΑΝΑΓΟ / ΡΙΤΩΝ is distributed in two lines, with ΦΑΝΑΓΟ arching above the rose along the upper field and ΡΙΤΩΝ arranged below, identifying the issuing community as the citizens of Phanagoreia. The lettering is rendered in clear, well-spaced Greek capitals typical of late Hellenistic Pontic regional issues. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with the hammered production technique of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Phanagoreia sat at the eastern end of the Cimmerian Bosporus, the dominant Greek city on the Asian side of the strait, and by the late second century BC it was firmly within the orbit of Mithridates VI of Pontus, whose consolidation of the Bosporan kingdom was then underway. This tetrobol belongs precisely to that transitional moment — the city still issuing in its own name, but the political ground shifting beneath it. Within a generation, Phanagoreia would famously be the first city to revolt against Mithridates during his final collapse, in 63 BC.
