| Reverse description | A seated male deity interpreted locally as Shamash, rendered in the guise of Zeus Aetophoros, enthroned left on a backless throne with feet resting on a low footstool; the outstretched right hand holds the protome of a horse facing right rather than the Macedonian eagle, reflecting a distinctly Arabian adaptation of the Alexandrine type. The left hand grasps a long grounded scepter. In the left field, a palm tree and an Aramaic aleph character appear as mint or dynastic control marks. The reverse legend in Aramaic script names the issuing authority. |
