| Reverse description | An eagle displayed in left profile, standing with wings spread and head turned to the right, depicted in a dynamic Hellenistic style. The bird stands atop a thunderbolt, a symbol associated with Zeus, rendered diagonally across the lower field. The ethnic inscription ΑΒΥ (abbreviation for Abydos) appears in Greek characters in the upper left field, identifying the issuing city. The overall composition is bold and well-centered, characteristic of civic bronze issues of the period. |
