| Reverse description | Incuse square containing a schematic architectural motif, commonly identified as a representation of the throne or altar of the Phoenician deity, rendered in two horizontal registers with stepped elements. The design is enclosed within a dotted border of beads forming a near-complete circle, characteristic of the Sidonian fractional coinage of this period. The incuse technique creates a deeply recessed field, with the central motif appearing in relief within the depression. The execution is bold and geometric, reflecting the conventions of Phoenician engraving in the mid-fifth century BCE. |
