| Reverse description | An eagle with folded wings perched atop a stylized mountain or rocky outcrop, rendered in a compact and bold relief characteristic of Artaxiad bronze coinage. The eagle faces left and is depicted in a frontal or near-frontal posture with wings partially spread. A Greek legend in two lines flanks the central device in the left and right fields, identifying the issuing monarch. The overall composition is emblematic of Armenian royal iconography combining Hellenistic artistic conventions with local dynastic symbolism. |
