| 裏面の説明 | Schematic owl standing left with head turned to face the viewer, rendered in a highly stylized and abstracted manner typical of Lihyanite imitative coinage; the large, prominent concentric-circle eyes dominate the design, flanked by roughly rendered wings and talons. An olive sprig is indicated to the right of the owl. The design is a bold, primitive adaptation of the classic Athenian owl reverse, with individual elements reduced to near-geometric forms characteristic of south Arabian provincial die-cutting. |

The Lihyanites, centered at Dedan in what is now northwestern Saudi Arabia, operated as a caravan state controlling trade routes between Arabia and the Levant. Their coinage is poorly documented and rarely surfaces in Western collections, leaving attribution of individual pieces genuinely contested among specialists. The kingdom's chronology itself remains unresolved — some scholars compress its independent phase into a single century, others extend it considerably further.
Bronze issues of this type circulated in a region where South Arabian and Aramaic monetary influences overlapped, producing a numismatic record that fits no clean regional typology.
