| Reverse description | Eagle standing on a horizontal line, facing left with head turned right, holding a wreath in its beak. The bird is depicted with spread wings partially lowered, rendered in the bold provincial style characteristic of Tyran coinage of the Antonine period. The ethnic legend ΤΥΡΑΝΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat off-center, consistent with hand-hammered civic bronzes of this region and era. |
