| Reverse description | Eagle displayed with wings spread, standing and facing right, holding a wreath in its beak — an emblematic motif of Bosporan royal coinage derived from Roman imperial iconography. The denomination mark appears in the field, rendered in Greek numerals, identifying this issue as a triple sestertius. The composition is bold and centrally placed, typical of the hammered copper denominations struck under the Bosporan kings. |
