| Reverse description | Central rosette of pellets enclosed within a filleted double crescent, the crescents adorned with fillet ties and surrounded by an outer ring of pellets arranged in a rosette pattern. This distinctive lunar-religious motif is characteristic of the colonial coinage of Carrhae, reflecting the city's longstanding association with the cult of the moon god Sin. The colonial legend ΚΑΡ ΚΟΛω Π is distributed around the design in the field. |
