History of the Artifact
The bronze coins minted in Amisos during the Hellenistic and early Roman periods often featured the head of Dionysus on the obverse, a striking choice that reflected the city’s cultural and religious identity. Dionysus is typically shown in profile, adorned with an ivy wreath and flowing curls, embodying the youthful, sensual qualities associated with the god of wine, festivity, and ecstasy. His visage on these coins is serene and idealized, suggesting not only reverence for the deity but also an appeal to the aesthetic values of Greek art and the spread of Dionysian cult worship in the region.
Amisos, situated strategically along the Black Sea coast, was a hub of maritime trade and cultural exchange. The prominence of Dionysus on its coinage likely signifies both religious devotion and the god’s symbolic connection to the pleasures of civic life, such as theatre, wine, and celebration—elements that flourished in cosmopolitan port cities. The image would have been instantly recognizable to those handling the coin, reinforcing the city’s Hellenic identity and its participation in a shared mythological and visual language across the eastern Mediterranean.

The delivery took quite a while, but this has nothing to do with the saler. I am very happy with my purchase, having a real piece of history in my home is really cool. The little display case looks nice and sturdy.

Fast shipping came in great condition well package.
Coin is very beautiful. Five stars.

All perfect packaging and excellent delivery times. It was a real pleasure


The button arrived upside down in the display case so I had to open it up and fix it before gifting. Other than that everything was great! Neat gift.


Fast shipping, the coin came with COA and was exactly as pictured! Thank you!

Gorgeous object. However, I would have preferred more details in his description.

Comes with the little display case and everything advertised in the picture. Awesome store

Very cool coin! I bought it for my dad for Father’s Day and I know he’s going to love it.

The seller was super helpful And professional during the inquiry before and during the purchase. He helped to pick out a beautiful piece for my brothers gift! Highly recommend.

I like the coin a lot, it is a very nice piece of history. Fits perfectly in to my collection. Delivery was on time and packaging very good. The case that it is in is just so nice it looks like in a museum. :)

Amazing! I love both the coins I got from here!! I can’t wait to give them to their recipients for Christmas!



The Coin and case is awesome! The only additional thing that could make it perfect would be a little description of what/who the coin faces represent and possibly where the specific coin was found. Otherwise very content

They were so helpful and patient with me I couldn’t be more grateful. They gave me such good service and such fast shipping I’m buying another coin when I get paid again!! I’m going to continue buying from these guys, it looks even better in person. It’s everything I was hoping for:) I’m obsessed with it it looks amazing in my collection:)

Great item with case. Carefully packaged. A great find!
