| Reverse description | Crossed cornucopiae (double cornucopia) depicted in the centre of the field, a common Nabataean reverse type symbolising abundance and royal prosperity. The design is rendered in the characteristic schematic style of Nabataean bronze coinage. An Aramaic inscription naming Queen Shaqilath appears in the field, identifying the co-ruler. The flan is irregular with a plain edge, and the overall strike is typical of hammered Nabataean small bronzes. |
