| Reverse description | A prominent crescent with horns pointing upward occupies the central field, with a six-pointed star or pellet placed within or above the crescent — a symbol of profound religious significance at Carrhae, the ancient cult centre of the lunar deity Sin. The surrounding Greek colonial legend ΚΑΡ ΚΟΛ ΜΗΤΡΟΠ, an abbreviation of Καρρῶν Κολωνίας Μητροπόλεως, is disposed around the periphery of the flan, attesting to the city's status as a Roman colonia and metropolis. |
