| Reverse description | Aramaic inscription within a wreath of two laurel or olive branches tied at the base with a small bow or knot, the branches extending upward to frame the central legend. The inscription in the field reads the name of Syllaeus and Aretas in Nabataean Aramaic script. The wreath motif is a standard compositional element on Nabataean silver fractions of this period, reflecting Hellenistic artistic influence on the kingdom's coinage. |
