| Reverse description | Owl standing to the right with head facing forward, rendered in a schematized South Arabian style derived from the classical Athenian prototype. An olive spray and crescent appear to the left of the owl, consistent with the standard Athena/owl coinage type. A royal monogram in South Arabian script occupies the right field. The overall design closely follows the Athenian tetradrachm reverse but is executed with the bold, simplified engraving characteristic of Qatabanian imitative issues. |
