| Reverse description | The helmeted war-deity Phanebalos depicted standing left on a short base, rendered in the local Ascalonite iconographic tradition. The figure brandishes a harpa in the raised right hand and holds a shield and palm-branch in the left. The composition is characteristic of the civic coinage of Ascalon, where Phanebalos served as the city's tutelary martial deity. A Greek legend surrounds the figure, incorporating the city name, the deity's name, and the municipal era date. The Η in the legend is rendered in the distinctive local form as Ι·Ι. |
