| Obverse description | A Phoenician war galley advances to the left, its hull detailed with a row of shields along the side and oarsmen at their benches with oars extended; below the vessel, a zigzag pattern conventionally represents the sea. The composition is rendered in the compact, stylized manner characteristic of Sidonian silver coinage of the fourth century BC. A single Phoenician letter appears in the field. The design occupies the full flan, reflecting the technical constraints of the small denomination. |
