| Reverse description | A date palm tree rendered in full, with a robust trunk rising from the base of the coin and spreading fronds occupying the upper field, a hallmark civic type of ancient Tyre alluding to the city's identity and the Phoenician word for the date palm. Greek letters denoting the regnal year of the Tyrian civic era appear in the field to the left and lower portions of the design. The inscription ΙΕΡΑ ΑΣ, abbreviating the city's honorific title, is also present within the field. The overall composition is characteristic of the autonomous civic bronze coinage struck at Tyre during the reign of Domitian. |
