| Reverse description | A Herakles club set vertically in the central field, surmounted by the civic monogram of Tyre composed of interlaced Greek letters. The entire device is enclosed within a wreath of oak leaves with acorns, tied at the base. The Greek legend ΜΗΤΡΟΙΤΟΛΕΩC (meaning 'of the metropolis') is inscribed around the periphery, asserting Tyre's prestigious status as a mother-city. The bold, well-centered reverse design reflects the proud civic identity of Tyre as a leading Phoenician commercial and cultural center. |
