Reverse description Two lions passant in opposing directions, rendered in a heraldic style typical of Cilician Armenian coinage of the early 13th century. The animals are depicted in profile within the central field, separated by a cross or ornamental device. A surrounding Armenian legend occupies the peripheral field, partially visible due to the irregular flan and heavy patination. The overall design reflects the blend of Byzantine and Western Crusader artistic influences prevalent at the Cilician Armenian court.
