Illustration
Various suggestions have been proposed who may be depicted on the obverse reverse of this silver coin (stater) issued by Amastris (reigned c. 300 - 285 BCE) in Paphlagonia. Neither the youthful portrait nor the enthroned goddess may be a direct portrait of Amastris, but in both Greek and Persian terms they express her claim to rule as queen.
