| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylized and schematically rendered helmeted bust of Athena facing right, derived from Athenian New Style coinage prototypes but heavily abstracted in the local Lihyanite tradition. The helmet crest is indicated by bold, sweeping curved lines across the upper field, while the eye is rendered as a prominent almond-shaped relief element. A single crescent symbol appears below the eye on the cheek, serving as a regional control mark or tribal identifier. The facial features are reduced to linear and geometric forms, reflecting the engraver's interpretation of the Hellenistic model through an Arabian artistic idiom. The flan is irregularly rounded and the relief is bold, consistent with hand-hammered production. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Owl standing to the right with head turned to face the viewer, rendered in the schematic Lihyanite style derived from Athenian tetradrachm prototypes. An olive sprig appears to the left of the owl, echoing the canonical Athenian reverse composition. The Greek legend AΘE is inscribed to the right of the owl, an abbreviated rendering of ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ, identifying the prototype coinage of Athens. The design elements are boldly struck but simplified, with the owl's body and plumage indicated by broad, stylized relief lines. The overall composition closely follows the late Athenian owl type, adapted for local circulation within the Lihyanite kingdom. |
