| Reverse description | A crescent resting on a globe, the globe itself set upon a base or pedestal, with a star or pellet above the crescent — a well-known astral symbol of Carrhae closely associated with the lunar deity Sin, the principal god worshipped at that city. The design is rendered in a simple, bold style within a plain field, with the abbreviated colonial legend placed to the sides. |
