| Reverse description | A filleted crescent, horns pointing upward, with a six-pointed star enclosed within its arc, occupying the central field of the reverse. This astral symbol — the crescent and star — is the characteristic and emblematic type of the colonial mint of Carrhae, a city renowned in antiquity for its cult of the moon god Sin. The colonial legend is disposed around the design in the field, with an additional letter P of uncertain significance. The strike is moderately well-centred on the irregular flan. |
