| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylised anthropomorphic idol in high relief, modelled after an authentic Early Bronze Age (circa 3000 BC) terracotta figurine excavated at Kültepe (ancient Kanesh) near Kayseri, Turkey. The idol presents a flask-shaped body with a small rounded head atop a long neck, broad shoulders, and a globular lower torso adorned with incised geometric and dotted decorative patterns. A schematic facial feature is indicated on the head, and the torso bears a central rectangular motif flanked by stippled ornamental fields, faithfully reproducing the artistic conventions of Anatolian prehistoric cult figurines. The design fills the coin's field in a naturalistic yet stylised manner, with no peripheral legend or additional inscription on this face. |
